Why the study?
Do specific lipid and lipoprotein profiles predict coronary heart disease mortality and morbidity in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes?
Do specific lipid and lipoprotein profiles predict coronary heart disease mortality and morbidity in patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes?
Specific atherogenic lipid profiles, including low HDL and high triglycerides, strongly predict CHD events in patients with type 2 diabetes.
May aid CHD risk stratification in type 2 diabetes; leaves open whether modifying these profiles improves outcomes.
Our 7-year follow-up study gives evidence that low HDL and HDL2 cholesterol, high VLDL cholesterol, and high total and VLDL triglycerides are powerful risk indicators for CHD events in patients with NIDDM:
