N2 - Studies are lacking in literature, which demonstrate the cumulative impact of certain soluble markers in predicting the severity of CAD. Serum hsCRP, MMP-9, TIMP-1 and sRAGE levels were measured in non-diabetic 100 angiographically proven CAD patients (Group I) and 40 non-diabetic subjects with coronary risk factors and without any lesions (Group II). Increased levels of serum hsCRP, MMP-9, TIMP-1 and decreased levels of sRAGE were observed in Group I as compared to Group II. Gensini score, a measure for severity of CAD was found to be positively correlated with serum hsCRP, MMP-9, TIMP-1 and negatively with sRAGE. Multivariate analysis revealed serum MMP-9, hsCRP, sRAGE and family history as predictors of severity of CAD with a cumulative sensitivity and specificity of 92% and 82%, respectively. Cumulative impact of these soluble markers, in addition to the established markers will contribute to improve the predictive value for the assessment of disease severity.
