Abstract
Background: The relationship between γ-glutamyltransferase (GGT) and coronary artery disease (CAD) has been revealed in several previous studies. However, the relationship between the severity of CAD and GGT levels has not been previously studied in a premature group ( 0.05). γ-Glutamyltransferase levels in group 1 were found not to be correlated with the severity of premature CAD (r = –0.016, p = 0.828). Furthermore, in subgroup analyses we found glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) levels significantly correlated with the severity of CAD in diabetic premature CAD patients, but not GGT (r = 0.448, p < 0.001; r = 0.157, p = 0.127, respectively). Conclusions: γ-Glutamyltransferase level was not associated with severity of CAD in the premature group. Possibly, there is no predictive importance of GGT in patients with premature CAD.
