- Abstract
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a general term that covers several metabolic disorders, the main feature of which is chronic hyperglycemia. Cardiovascular complications are the leading cause of morbidity and mortality in type 2 DM (T2DM) patients. On the other hand, in clinical practice, diabetic patients with noncritical arteries also present. In this study, we aimed to investigate the relationship between T2DM and coronary artery disease (CAD) by examining two groups of patients diagnosed with T2DM, those with and without critical CAD detected by coronary angiography (CAG), in terms of their demographic and clinical characteristics. Method: Our retrospective study included 487 patients with T2DM who underwent CAG between 2022 and 2023. Demographic data and clinical characteristics of the patients were obtained from the hospital database. Results: The sample consisted of 290 men (59.5%) and 197 women (40.5%), and the average age was 62.38±9.67 years. One hundred fifty-seven (32.2%) of the patients were included in group 1 (without CAD), and 330 (67.8%) were included in group 2 (with CAD). According to the statistical analysis of the data, a statistically significant (p=0.001) correlation was detected between the HbA1c level, which we chose as the primary parameter, and the development of CAD. In addition, other parameters we examined, such as CVA history, HDL, creatinine, glucose, CK-MB, EF, gender, BMI, and height, were also correlated with the development of CAD. Conclusion: In this retrospective study, we found a significant relationship between "HbA1c level, CVA history, low EF, and low HDL levels and the development of CAD" in patients with T2DM. We believe that existing data should be supported by prospective and larger-scale studies.
