Quantitative Coronary Angiographic Studies of Patients With Angina Pectoris and Impaired Glucose Tolerance

We investigated the morphological characteristics of coronary arteries in patients with impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) using computer-assisted quantitative coronary angiography. IGT is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. However, the morphological changes developing in the coronary arteries of patients with IGT remain unknown.A total of 534 patients with angina pectoris were studied. Of these, 144 patients were being treated...
