Coronary artery disease in patients with diabetes type 2 Review article
Main Article Content
Abstract
Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of increased mortality in diabetes patients. Coronary artery disease and myocardial infarction are diagnosed 2–4 time more frequently and significantly earlier in diabetic patient than in patients without diabetes. Non-invasive methods used in diagnostics of coronary heart disease in diabetes patients include exercise test, stress echocardiography and perfusion scintigraphy of myocardium. These methods have to define the indications for coronarography, which is an invasive method of coronary arteries imaging. Article presents management of coronary heart disease in patients with diabetes mellitus. In the last decade the position of beta-blockers and ACE-inhibitors significantly changed. The more important role in therapy play metabolic control of diabetes, proper blood pressure and lipid metabolism control.
