Comparison of coronary plaque, coronary artery calcification and major adverse cardiac events in Chinese outpatients with and without type 2 diabetes

Abstract: ObjectiveDiabetes substantially increases the risk of cardiovascular disease (CAD) and is associated with an increased risk of CAD mortality. The purpose of this study was to investigate the differences in coronary artery plaque, coronary artery calcification (CAC) measured in outpatients with and without type 2 diabetes, and the occurrence rate of a major adverse cardiac event (MACE) throughout follow-up with the same patients.MethodsFive hundred eighty-eight outpatients with suspected CAD comprising 208 diab… Show more

“…This in turn triggers a vasoconstriction reflex as well as systemic inflammation, causing more severe myocardial dysfunction, mortality, and MACE [11]. Similar to our findings, patients with diabetes mellitus were found to have less favorable angiographic outcomes following coronary stent placement and higher incidence of MACE compared to the nondiabetic patients as investigated in multiple previous studies [12][13][14]. Diabetes was associated with higher incidence of death, MI, reinterventions, and increased risk of restenosis [12].…”

“…Diabetic nephropathy probably had an independent effect on E / e ratio, left ventricular diastolic dysfunction and cardiac valve regurgitation ( 62 ). In addition, diabetes patients are with a higher coronary artery calcification (CAC) score, and incidence rate of major adverse cardiovascular events ( 63 ). A higher CAC score was significantly associated with fibroblast growth factor 23, parathyroid hormone, and inflammation index ( 64 ).…”

“…Severe coronary artery calcification increases the risks of interventional procedures, and patients have a poor prognosis [2]. Diabetes mellitus is a primary cause of vascular calcification [3]. The mechanism through which diabetes mellitus promotes vascular calcification is not clear.…”
