Why the study?
Do diabetic patients with unstable angina have a higher incidence of complex lesion morphology compared to nondiabetic patients?
Do diabetic patients with unstable angina have a higher incidence of complex lesion morphology compared to nondiabetic patients?
Diabetic patients with unstable angina exhibit more complex coronary lesion morphology, including plaque ulceration and thrombus, which may explain their higher risk of acute coronary syndromes.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May underlie excess ACS risk in diabetic UA; leaves open whether morphology informs therapy.
Silva et al. (1995) studied this question.
