Materials and Methods: A clinical and observational study was conducted in April 2021 to February 2022 among 100 patients who were diagnosed as CAD admitted under Medicine Department, GMERS medical College and civil hospital – Junagadh and at a few private hospitals of Junagadh, Gujarat. Results: Total 44% patients had METs. No sex wise significant statistical difference was observed for METs and without METs group for clinical symptomatology. Significant difference were noted regarding past history of diabetes mellitus (P = 0.004) and hypertension (P = 0.01) among patients having METs and without METs.
