Silent coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the manifestations of heart disease that particularly affects subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). From a clinical point of view, silent CAD represents a constant challenge for the diabetologist, who has to decide whether a patient could or could not be screened for this disease. In the present narrative review, several aspects of silent CAD are considered: the epidemiology of the disease, the associated risk factors, and main studies conducted, in the last 20 years, especially aimed to demonstrate the usefulness of the screening of silent CAD, to improve cardiovascular outcomes in type 2 diabetes.

AbstractHere we seek to identify molecular biomarkers that mediate the effect of risk factors on coronary artery disease (CAD). We perform a SNP-based multiomics data analysis to find biomarkers (probes) causally associated with the risk of CAD within known genomic loci for its risk factors. We identify 78 biomarkers, the majority (64%) of which are methylation probes. We detect the convergence of several CNS and lifestyle trait loci and their biomarkers at the 3p21.31 and human leukocyte antigen (HLA) regions. The 3p21.31 locus was the most populated region in the convergence of biomarkers and risk factors. In this region, we noted as the BSN gene becomes methylated the level of stomatin (STOM) in blood increases and this contributes to higher risk of CAD. In the HLA locus, we identify several methylation biomarkers associated with various CAD risk factors. SNPs in the CFB gene display a trans-regulatory impact on the GRIA4 protein level. A methylation site upstream of the APOE gene is associated with a higher protein level of S100A13 which in turn leads to higher LDL-C and greater CAD risk. We find UHRF1BP1 and ILRUN mediate the effect of obesity on CAD whereas methylation sites within NOS3 and CKM mediate the effect of their associated-risk factors on CAD. This study provides further insight into the biology of CAD and identifies a list of biomarkers that mediate the impact of risk factors on CAD. A SNP-based initiative can unite data from various fields of omics into a single network of knowledge.

Objective:Toevaluate the prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) with its associated risk factors among Saudi population in Aljouf, Sakaka, Saudi Arabia. Methods: This is a retrospective hospital based study conducted at King Abdul Aziz specialized hospital Sakaka Aljouf, Saudi Arabia by selecting participants with diagnosed CAD by coronary angiogram, the meanage 55.1 ± 10.8 yrs ( range 35-75-years)over a period ofJanuary 2019to December 2019. Demographic characteristics included age, sex,diabetes, hypertension, smoking and family history of CAD. Laboratory data included such as total cholesterol, triglyceride, LDL and HDL levels. Collected data were analyzed by using SPSS 20.00software. Results: One hundred two participants, out of eight hundred fifty five were diagnosed CADwhich included 64.7% stable angina and 35.2% unstable angina. The total prevalence of CAD obtained from this study was11.9% among male and female was7.89% and 4.621% respectively (P<0.0001). Diabetes (85.7%) and dyslipidemia 94.2%weremost important risk factors in female compared to male 59.1% and 62.2% respectively, while hypertension 82% higher in male than female 51.4 % considers as a significant (p<0.001). Smoking considered as an individual risk factor of 94% for male coronary artery disease patients. Conclusion:The prevalence of CAD was higher in male 7.89 % than female 4.21% and its associated risk factors including hypertension and cigarette smoking.
