Abstract:Background
Intensive glycemic control reduced coronary artery disease (CAD) events among the Action to Control Cardiovascular Disease Risk in Diabetes (ACCORD) participants with the haptoglobin (Hp) 2-2 phenotype only.

Methods
Haptoglobin phenotype was measured in 4542 samples from the Action for Health in Diabetes (Lo… Show more
