O Torffvit, CD Agardh - Journal of Diabetes and its Complications, 2000 - Elsevier
The objective was to study the development and progression of heart disease in type 2
diabetic patients and to evaluate the influence of revascularisation procedures on its
outcome. A 10-year observation study in 385 patients attending a hospital-based outpatient
clinic was performed. A total of 156/385 patients developed myocardial infarction (n= 68),
angina (n= 44), heart failure (n= 34) or died (n= 109). A high mortality was seen in patients
with myocardial infarction (73%) and heart failure (71%), in contrast, to patients with angina …
