CAD brings great pain and burden to patient. However, CAD is asymptomatic in quiet a few cases of type 2 diabetes until myocardial infarction or sudden cardiac death occurs. In this study, we explored the association between CAD and various serum factor. We found that the Ca/Mg ratio is of excellent value in screening CAD, especially in diabetes. Moreover, we found that the cutoff of Ca/Mg ratio was 2.55 in diabetic population and the prevalence rate of CAD was 18.5% below the cutoff, 46.9% higher than the cutoff. The Ca/Mg ratio will provide good prediction of the risk of CAD and make early detection easier in diabetes.
