Aim: To evaluate serum Interleukin-6, and lipids as predictors of cardiovascular diseases (CVD) in obese and non obese male patients of coronary artery disease (CAD). Methodology: It was cross-sectional comparative study. Serum Interleukin-6 and lipid profile was determined in non diabetic, non smoker and non hypertensive age matched obese and non obese male patients of CAD and healthy subjects. Sixty male subjects were divided equally into groups. Group 1, healthy controls (n=20), group 2, non obese male patients with CAD (n=20) and group 3 included Obese male patients with CAD (n=20). The serum was assayed for lipid profile and interleukin-6 . Results: Age matched healthy and patients were non diabetics, non hypertensive and non smoker with altered lipid profile in obese and non obese male patients with coronary artery disease. Patients have high serum cholesterol, low density cholesterol(LDL-C), Triglyceride(TG,) very low density lipoprotein(VLDL) and interleukin-6. The High density lipoprotein was lowered in both obese and non obese male patients with CAD. Significant positive correlation was observed in CAD group of IL-6 with TC (rho= 0.405, p= 0.009*) , with TG (rho= 0.639, p= 0.000*) ,with LDL (rho= 0.398, p= 0.002*), with VLDL (rho= 0.315, p= 0.014*). Significant negative correlation was observed in CAD group of IL-6 with HDL (rho= -0.565, p= 0.000*) Significant positive correlation was observed in CAD group of IL-6 .Significant positive correlation of IL-6 was observed with AI (rho= 0.602, p= 0.000*). Conclusion: Dyslipidemia, Raised interleukin-6 and strong positive correlation of Atherogenic index with IL-6 are independent risk factors for CVD; using Atherogenic risk ratios as a screening tool for the estimation of CVD risk is useful in patients with CAD. Keywords: Lipid profile, serum interleukin-6,Atherogenic index,coronary artery disease.

This study aims to study the efficiency of the Waist-to-Height Ratio (WHtR) for determining coronary artery disease. It compares the frequency of abnormal WHtR, as a proxy for abdominal obesity, to that of body mass index (BMI) and waist circumference (WC). It also relates the findings to other cardiometabolic risk factors in University Hospital patients. A cross-sectional study design was used, where a sample of 200 patients (142 males and 58 females) who attended the adult cardiac clinic were purposively included. BMI, WC, and WHtR were measured, where frequencies of WHtR were compared to those of BMI and WC. The findings were related to the history of coronary artery disease (CAD) and history of cardiometabolic risk factors, including diabetes mellitus (DM), hypertension (HTN), and hyperlipidemia. Majority of the male patients were older, taller, and had a lower BMI value. It also showed that the prevalence of dyslipidemia and CAD was higher in male patients. No significant difference between both genders was noticed for weight, WC, WHtR, hypertension, or DM. BMI was least associated with high-risk cardiac population in both males and females (39.4% and 60.3%), followed by WC (84.5% and 96.6%, respectively). WHtR showed the highest association with gender (male 98.6% and females 98.3%). These findings were noticed in patients with all risk factors. WHtR is superior to BMI and WC for determining the elevated risk of diabetes, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and CAD in a single university institute. The role of WHtR in both normal and diseased Saudi population should be delineated.
