Coronary Artery Disease and Diabetes Mellitus

Abstract: SUMMARY Coronary artery disease (CAD) is a major determinant of the long-term prognosis among patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). DM is associated with a 2 to 4-fold increased mortality risk from heart disease. Furthermore, in patients with DM there is an increased mortality after MI, and worse overall prognosis with CAD. Near-normal glycemic control for a median of 3.5 to 5 years does not reduce cardiovascular events. Thus, the general goal of HbA1c <7% appears reasonable for the majority of patients.

“…Diabetes is a significant predisposing factor for CAD, and CAD is a major determinant of the long‐term prognosis among patients with diabetes mellitus. Increased mortality rates are noted for CAD patients, especially after myocardial infarction, with worse overall prognosis . Diabetes mellitus is associated with a twofold to fourfold increase in mortality risk due to heart disease .…”

“…Coronary artery disease (CAD), which includes angina, myocardial infarction, and sudden cardiac death, is the predominant cause of morbidity and mortality (Haffner, Lehto, Rönnemaa, Pyörälä, & Laakso, ; Wong, ). Diabetes mellitus (DM), especial type 2 DM, which is closely associated with clustered risk factors, such as hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, obesity, and smoking, can show a two‐ to fourfolds mortality risk for CAD (Aronson & Edelman, ; Beller et al, ). Although there has been considerable progress in the diagnosis and treatment for CAD and its complications, coronary event rates remain high among patients with DM2 (Preis et al, ).…”

“…One of the major risk factors for cardiovascular disease is diabetes mellitus, even near controlled blood sugar doesn't seem to reduce these cardiovascular events. This is true for type 2 diabetes mellitus, which carries a very poor outcome in cases of coronary artery disease despite the presence of different modalities of treatments like percutaneous coronary intervention, and coronary artery bypass graft surgery [3], [4]. Blood supply of the heart is composed of right and left coronary arteries arising from right and left coronary sinuses respectively, the RCA gives small branches and continue posteriorly in the inter ventricular groove, or might bifurcate to be posterior descending artery (PDA) and posterior-lateral vessel (PLV).…”
