Peng You-hua

Abstract

AIM To study the influence of abnormal glucose tolerance on angiographic characteristics of coronary artery in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).METHODS Coronary angiographic characteristics were analyzed in 35 patients with impaired glucose tolerance(IGT) or impaired fasting glucose(IFG),44 patients with diabetes and 17 with normal glucose tolerance.RESULTS A significant difference was observed among the IGT(or IFG) group,the normal glucose tolerance group and diabetes group in the occurrence of coronary multivessel changes and of the distal coronary changes.CONCLUSION The coronary artery lesions are of significant different severity and extent in CHD patients with abnormal and normal oral glucose tolerance test(OGTT) but are of similar characteristics of the diabetes group.
