Why the study?
Does diabetes mellitus increase the incidence of coronary artery disease in autopsy patients?
Does diabetes mellitus increase the incidence of coronary artery disease in autopsy patients?
Autopsy findings demonstrate that diabetic patients have double the incidence of coronary artery disease compared to nondiabetic patients.
Supports diabetes-CAD association in autopsy series; leaves open causality and applicability to living patients.
Abstract 1.1. The microscopic appearance of vascular disease in the coronaries of diabetic hearts is similar to that of nondiabetic hearts with well-developed disease of the coronary vessels. 2.2. The incidence of coronary artery disease in 29 diabetic patients at The Mount Sinai Hospital upon whom autopsies were performed was 62 per cent as compared with 31 per cent in 402 nondiabetic patients between the ages of forty and eighty.
