PP-179 Do Varying Antidiabetic Regimens Make Any Difference in Coronary Atherogenesis: A Retrospective and Observational Study




Objective


Diabetes is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease. The aim of this study is to examine the effects of oral antidiabetic drugs and subcutaneous insulin treatment on coronary atherogenesis.




Methods


Four hundred and fourteen consecutive patients (116 diabetic and 298 were non-diabetic) referred to our clinic for coronoary angiography from May 2014 to December 2014 with the prediagnosis of coronary artery were enrolled into our study. Coronary atherosclerosis distribution is defined using Gensini Score and relationship with longterm oral antidiabetic agents versus subcutaneous insulin treatment is evaluated. The results were obtained by calculating ‘p’ value by ‘z’ test, ‘t’ test, chi-square test, as appropriate to see the difference between two groups. The results thus obtained were plotted on table, pie-chart, line chart, bar-diagram etc. as appropriate p value <0.05 was considered significant.
