| Abstract | Coronary angiography is the gold standard for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease. Coronary artery Gensini scoring systems measure both the extent and the degree of stenosis of coronary artery and therefore, give clinicians a more accurate, objective, and comprehensive assessment of the severity of coronary artery disease. Using Gensini scoring systems in combination with statistical analysis, we found that five variables, namely, Brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (PWV), ankle-brachial index (ABI), carotid artery intima-media thickness (IMT), blood sugar, and high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C), were all significantly different among groups of patients with different Gensini scores. All five variables can be used for early screening and assessment of coronary artery disease as independent prognostic factors for the morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular conditions. With the progression of coronary artery disease, the levels of PWV, IMT, and blood glucose are gradually increasing whereas the levels of ABI and HDL-C are gradually decreasing. These changes can be treated as warning signs and can also be helpful in evaluating the severity of coronary artery diseases. It is highly recommended to perform these five non-invasive tests as early as possible in order to identify high-risk patients at their subclinical stages. This would allow timely intervention and thereby lead to reduced morbidity and mortality from cardiovascular diseases. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
