Effect of diabetic kidney disease on therapeutic strategies for coronary artery disease: ten year follow-up

Abstract

Background: The best treatment for coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with type 2 diabetes (DM2) and chronic kidney disease is unknown. Methods: This retrospective study included MASS registry patients with DM2 and multivessel CAD, stratified by kidney function. Primary endpoint was combined of mortality, myocardial infarction, or additional revascularization. Results: Median follow-up was 9.5 years. Primary endpoint occurrences among strata 1 and 2 were 53.4% and 40.7%, respectively (P=.020). Mortality rates were 37.4% and 24.6% in strata 1 and 2, respectively (P
