title: Is assessment of peripheral endothelial dysfunction useful tool for risk stratification of type 2 diabetic patients with manifested coronary artery disease?
abstract: Endothelial dysfunction, per se, in coronary arteries can stratify a risk in coronary artery disease patients. Selected studies evaluating endotheliopathy as predictor of events in patients with type 2 diabetes, but without coronary artery disease. We hypothesized that peripheral endothelial dysfunction could predict prognosis of type 2 diabetic patients who presented coronary artery disease. Our data presented endothelial dysfunction as prognostic marker of cardiovascular events in type 2 diabetic patients with manifested coronary artery disease, according univariate regression model.
