Background—Diabetes mellitus increases the risk of adverse cardiac outcomes and is
considered a coronary artery disease (CAD) equivalent. We examined whether coronary …

/CAD−(4.1%) and in DM+/CAD−(4.0%) patients (Table 1, Fig. 1), but higher in
DM−/CAD+(15.5%, p< 0.001) and DM+/CAD+ patients (26.3%, p< 0.001) when compared to …

Objectives: We sought to determine the differences in coronary microvascular function
between patients with type 1 (insulin-deficient) and type 2 (insulin-resistant) diabetes …

Background Type 2 (non-insulin-dependent) diabetes is associated with a marked increase
in the risk of coronary heart disease. It has been debated whether patients with diabetes …

Background Patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus are at an increased risk of adverse
cardiovascular events compared to those without diabetes. The timing, relative to disease …

Studies of the characteristics of coronary artery disease (CAD) in diabetic patients have
shown conflicting results. Only 2 studies exploring the severity of CAD, specifically in type 1 …

Background—Abnormal coronary endothelial reactivity has been demonstrated in diabetes
and is associated with an increased rate of cardiovascular events. Our objectives were to …

To elucidate the factors involved in the reduced survival rate of diabetic patients after acute
myocardial infarction (AMI), we prospectively evaluated 100 patients with well-documented …

Aims Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in patients with diabetes.
Patients often present with advanced and asymptomatic disease. Proposed strategies that …

Aims/hypothesis Coronary flow reserve (CFR) and coronary artery calcium (CAC) represent
functional and structural aspects of atherosclerosis. We examined the prevalence of reduced …
