Study Overview
Brief Summary
This is a case control study designed to compare the body composition parameters between patients with evidence of coronary artery disease (CAD) of varying severities and patients with no evidence of coronary artery disease as observed in an angiogram .It will begin as a pilot study of 2 months duration and will involve comparing 15 CAD patients with 15 patients without CAD Coronary artery disease is known to be associated with dyslipidemia, which we hypothesize could be caused by alterations in the body fat composition. The patients included in the study will be those who are undergoing coronary angiogram in Kasturba hospital in Manipal. An instrument called Bodystat 1500MDD will be used to asses body composition parameters such as Body Fat % and fat weight , Lean Mass % and lean mass, Body Fat Mass Index (BFMI), Fat-Free mass index and visceral fat % in the two groups of patients
