Baseline clinical characteristics of all the study subjects.
| Parameters | Controls (n = 54) |
Patients with CAD (n = 78) |

| SBP (mmHg) | 122.7 ± 8.4 | 132.9 ± 17.7 | 130.9 ± 15.4 | 0.0003 * | 0.0112 * |
| DBP (mmHg) | 79.5 ± 6.3 | 80.3 ± 14.2 | 80.33 ± 22.3 | 0.7192 | 0.8234 |
| BMI (Kg/m2) | 24.87 ± 5.4 | 25.76 ± 3.2 | 24.22 ± 5.7 | 0.2804 | 0.1879 |

Data are means ± SD and mean percent values. Mean values of the different parameters in the study subjects were analyzed by chi-square and Student’s t-test of significance as appropriate; p-value †—Patients with CAD vs. Controls. p-value ‡—Patients with NCA vs. Controls. * p < 0.05 is considered to be significant. Age (p-value—0.0028 † and 0.0286 ‡), SBP (p-value—0.0003 † and 0.0112 ‡) and Obesity (p-value—0.0002 † and 0.0036 ‡) were found to be significantly different between the groups.
