We aimed to define is there any association between hyperglycemia and incidence of Ar. We studied 137 (75 F/62 M) type 2 diabetic patients with coronary artery disease (CAD). The age was 54.0±5.5 years (M±S.D). The CAD and DM duration <10 years was in 64 (47%) and in 47 (34%), 15 years and above – in 21 (15%) and in 34 (25%) re...
