Abstract:
The outcomes of cardiovascular events in diabetics are equal to those found in patients with coronary artery diseases (CAD) not associated with diabetes (DM). DM is hence upgraded from “risk factor” to “equivalent” of CAD. Recently, hyperglycemia has been found in the majority of CAD patients (“Euro Heart Survey” and “China Heart Survey”),the prevalence is far more higher than that in general population. Questions have been raised, regarding DM and CAD, which one is the cause or the result of the other or both are mutually equivalent or homogenous and finally, what are the common points in treatment and prevention
