The objective of this study was to find the association between PSA level and the severity of coronary arteries' involvement. Methods: In this cross-sectional study 200 man patients were examined. The first group includes who had been primarily diagnosed with acute myocardial infarction. The second group included CAD patients who were to go under elective angiography.
