Key result
T2DM linked to a ~20-fold higher prevalence of triple-vessel CAD versus non-diabetics.
Why the study?
Coronary artery disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality globally and in Pakistan, prompting a comparison of triple-vessel CAD frequency between adult type 2 diabetics and non-diabetics.
Does type 2 diabetes increase the frequency of triple-vessel coronary artery disease in patients undergoing coronary angiography?
Cross-Sectional (n=300)

Butt et al. (2019) conducted a cross-sectional in Coronary artery disease (n=300). Type 2 diabetes vs. Non-diabetics was evaluated on Presence of triple-vessel coronary artery disease. Adult type 2 diabetics had a significantly higher frequency of triple-vessel coronary artery disease compared to non-diabetics (40% vs 2%).
