Özet

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) has long been recognized as a major risk factor for coronary artery diseases (CAD). Although Hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) has been widely used as a marker for predicting the severity of DM, there are controversial reports in the literature regarding its association with the severity of CAD. The aim of our study was to determine the association between HbA1c levels and severity of CAD in both diagnosed and undiagnosed diabetic patients with admission hyperglycemia.
