The entire clinical data, biochemical parameters, and coronary artery calcium score of these patients were documented. The data were analyzed by statistical software R version 3.5.0. Results: The study enrolled 28 patients after satisfying the entry criteria. The mean age of this study group was 29.64 years, with 93% male population and 7% females. 1 patient had hypertension, 1 was obese, and 15 were smokers.
