ABSTRACT
A three-year follow-up of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) and type II diabetes after coronary artery bypass grafting, shows that the following pathologic conditions are significantly more frequent: arterial hypertension, visceral obesity, marked disturbances of blood lipid spectrum, an increases CHD duration, and an increased rate of myocardial reinfarction and revascularizations. The study shows that the presence of diabetes mellitus in CHD patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting, is associated with pronounced disturbances in blood lipid spectrum, and is an important risk factor of coronary event progression.
