Introduction: There is growing body of evidence that insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia can contribute to development and accelerate the progression of atherogenesis of large arteries. However, an association between the severity of angiographically confirmed atherosclerotic lesions of coronary arteries and the levels of insulin in the plasma in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) without history of diabetes mellitus or dysglycemia was not properly examined. The ai...

Introduction: Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus. However, an association between CAN and severity of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with ischemic heart disease (IHD) was not investigated.Objectives: The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship of CAN and coronary stenosis in patients with clinical signs of IHD.<p class...

Introduction: Cardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a significant risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity, mortality in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). On the other hand, oxidative stress is one of the important factor of pathogenesis of diabetic complications. However, an association between CAN, cardiovascular autonomic reflex tests (CARTs), heart rate variability (HRV) and markers of oxidative stress in patients with DM was not fully investigated.<p class=...

BackgroundCardiovascular autonomic neuropathy (CAN) is a chronic complication associated with high risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality either in patients with diabetes mellitus and prediabetes. However, risk factors of CAN in patients with prediabetes and coronary artery disease (CAD) was not fully investigated.AimsThe aim of this study was to investigate risk factors of CAN in patients with predia...
