Abstract | OBJECTIVE: METHODS: RESULTS:
Coronary artery disease patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus had higher Gensini scores (p < 0.01), more numbers of diseased coronary arteries (p < 0.001), and higher degrees of coronary stenosis (p = 0.05) than coronary artery disease patients without type 2 diabetes mellitus. The plasma levels of very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (p < 0.001) and triglycerides (p < 0.001) were also higher in coronary artery disease patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus than in coronary artery disease patients without type 2 diabetes mellitus. In coronary artery disease patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, very low-density lipoprotein cholesterol was positively correlated with Gensini scores (r = 0.15, p = 0.03), the number of diseased coronary arteries (r = 0.15, p = 0.04), and the extent of coronary stenosis (r = 0.14, p = 0.05) by partial correlation analysis after controlling for other lipid parameters, and independently associated with Gensini scores (beta = 0.18, p = 0.02) and the number of diseased coronary arteries (odds ratio = 2.09, p = 0.05) after adjusting for other cardiovascular risk factors in the following multiple regression analysis. CONCLUSION:
