[The features of coronary angiography in coronary heart disease with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus].
OBJECTIVE
To study the clinical and angiographical characteristics of coronary heart disease (CHD) in CHD patients with non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).


METHODS
The study was carried out by case control analysis of the clinical manifestations and the data from cine selective coronary angiography.


RESULTS
CHD patients with NIDDM tended to have multiple cardiovascular risk factors. It is likely that NIDDM contributed more to dyslipidemia in the female than in the male. Unstable angina pectoris was found more frequently in CHD patients with NIDDM than in those without. The female CHD patients with NIDDM were more frequently afflicted with myocardial infarction. Moreover, CHD patients with NIDDM had much greater extent of coronary vessel involvement and more diffuse vascular lesion.


CONCLUSIONS
The clinical and angiographical findings are quite different in CHD patients with and without NIDDM. The lesions in the coronary arteries tend to be more severe and diffuse in patients with NIDDM.
