Newly-diagnosed 51 cases of coronary artery disease and 51age, gender matched controls were studied. Data was analysed using Chi square test, Z test and odds ratio was calculated. We found strong significant association of hypertension(OR3.56), diabetes mellitus(OR2.70) and dyslipidaemia(OR4.45)with CVD. From our results we could conclude that there is strong significant association of hypertension, diabetes and dyslipidaemia with CVD. Public awareness and lifestyle modifications in all patients with diabetes and hypertensionshould be encouraged for prevention of CVD.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
