Sažetak
Most of the studies showed that patients with DM are more likely to have diffuse distribution of CAD. Results of studies about the association of DM with the location of the lesion in CAD is also contradictory, in some studies was observed a higher incidence of proximal, and in other distal lesions. In our study, mostly affected was LAD, usually its proximal and middle segment. Also, RCA and ACx were more affected in the proximal and middle segment. The study found a higher prevalence of type C lesions and a higher prevalence of three- vessel CAD inpatients with DM which confirms previous findings thatpatients with DM usually have diffuse CAD.
