In individuals with diabetic hypertension, silent coronary artery disease (CAD) is common due to underlying chronic inflammation but there is no biomarker to monitor this high-risk group of individuals before noticeable symptoms emerge clinically. cfDNA from dying endothelial cells triggers chronic inflammation, leading us to hypothesize that enzymes that degrade cfDNA, DNase I and/or II, could serve as more sensitive biomarkers for silent CAD. To test this, we conducted a study with 30 hypertensive diabetic patients with clinical symptoms of CAD (CAD-HTN-DM) and 30 controls without CAD (HTN-DM).
