surement of HbA1c were included. Increased and a higher HbA1c levels were significantly associated with a higher syntax score (p value < 0.001). After adjustment of age, gender, smoking, hypertension, dyslipidaemia and duration of diabetes, it was found that a higher HbA1c levels were able to independently predict patients with intermediate or high syntax score (≥ 18). CONCLUSION: The complexity of coronary artery lesions was significantly correlated with HbA1c among diabetic patients. A higher HbA1c value is an independent predictor of the complexity of coronary lesions.
