There has been enough evidence that HDL cholesterol plays a major role in reverse cholesterol transport and thereby reduces coronary artery atherosclerotic plaque burden and quantitatively low HDL cholesterol increases coronary artery plaque burden. Recent evidence suggests that in diabetic patients, there is functional impairment in HDL cholesterol which increases the risk of coronary artery disease. So, the present study is conducted in order to compare the severity between diabetic and non-diabetic group of patients with coronary artery disease and to correlate with HDL-C values. The objectives of the study were to study the correlation between quantitative HDL cholesterol level and angiographic severity of coronary artery disease and to compare these findings between diabetic and non-diabetic group of patients
