Objective To explore trends in prognosis and use of glucose-lowering drugs (GLD) in patients with diabetes and coronary artery disease (CAD). Information on GLD (dispended 6 months before or after coronary angiography) was collected from the Swedish Prescribed Drug Registry. vs. 6.8%), myocardial infarction (7.7%

Left main coronary artery disease (CAD) and diabetes pose significant challenges in cardiovascular care, often leading to adverse outcomes. However, the comparative long-term efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) in patients with these conditions remains unclear.

Patients with diabetes experienced higher rates of 5-year death (158/1104 [Kaplan-Meier rate, 14.7%] versus 297/3289 [9.3%];P<0.001), spontaneous myocardial infarction (MI; 67/1104 [6.7%] versus 114/3289 [3.7%];P<0.001), and repeat revascularization (189/1104 [18.5%] versus 410/3289 [13.2%];P<0.001).

Three coronary arteries supply blood to the heart. When one of these arteries becomes completely blocked by a blood clot, it results in a heart attack, also known as MI (Myocardial infarction). The accumulation of cholesterol, foam cells, fibrous tissue, and calcium mainly causes the narrowing of coronary arteries.
