Title: Analysis of coronary angiographic characteristics in elderly patients with coronary artery disease plus type 2 diabetes
Abstract: Objective To investigate the coronary angiographic characteristics of elderly patients suffering from coronary artery disease(CAD) with type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM). Methods All patients were divided into two groups. DM group included 198 elderly patients suffering from DM combined with CAD,NDM group included 387 elderly CAD patients without DM. The clinical data and the results of coronary artery angiography were analyzed. Results There were no statistical significance in age,BMI,smoking age,history of high blood pressure,LDL,blood Cr and family history of CAD between the two groups (P0.05); There were statistical significance in HbA1c,FINS,TG and CRP (P0.05);The incidences of LM,single and double vessel lesions were not significantly higher than those in NDM group (9% vs 5 %,15 % vs 19 %,21% vs 18 %,P0. 05); Three vessel diseases and diffuse lesion were more prevalent than those in NDM group (43% vs 19%,P0. 05; 38 % vs 21 %,P0. 01). More stents were placed in DM group(2.09±0.21 vs 1.67±0.16,P0.01); FINS,CRP and HbA1c were significantly independent risk factors of diffuse vessel lesions. Conclusions Elderly coronary disease patients with DM show more pathological changes and diffuse lesion in coronary artery.
