Abstract
A new series of non-lipid risk factors for predicting coronary artery disease (CAD) are disclosed. The level of serum total bilirubin was found to be a statistically significant independent risk factor for CAD and to be inversely related to CAD. Similarly, the levels of fasting blood sugar, serum glutamate pyruvate transaminase and the ratio of total cholesterol to serum total bilirubin were found to be significant univariate predictors of CAD.
