Do insulin resistance, glycemia, and depressive symptomatology predict future coronary artery disease events in patients with type 1 diabetes?
In patients with type 1 diabetes, insulin resistance and depressive symptoms, rather than glycemic control, are significant predictors of future coronary artery disease events.
These data suggest that although the standard CAD risk factors are still operative in type 1 diabetes, greater glycemia does not seem to predict future CAD events. In addition, depressive symptomatology predicts angina and insulin resistance (eGDR) predicts hard CAD end points.
