Association of hemoglobin A1c level with the severity of coronary artery disease in patients with diabetes mellitus

Coronary angiography was performed in 152 men and 163 women with diabetes mellitus (mean age 55 plus or minus 8 years) because of chest pain. The mean hemoglobin A1c level was 6.66 plus or minus 0.58% in 132 patients with 0-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD), 8.00 plus or minus 0.84% in 40 patient...

Summary:Coronary angiography was performed in 152 men and 163 women with diabetes mellitus (mean age 55 plus or minus 8 years) because of chest pain. The mean hemoglobin A1c level was 6.66 plus or minus 0.58% in 132 patients with 0-vessel coronary artery disease (CAD), 8.00 plus or minus 0.84% in 40 patients with 1-vessel CAD, 8.83 plus or minus 1.45% in 76 patients with 2-vessel CAD, and 10.40 plus or minus 2.28% in 67 patients with 3- or 4-vessel CAD. There was a significant increasing trend of hemoglobin A1c levels over the increasing number of vessels with CAD (p
