According to the International Diabetes Federation, 382 million people had diabetes in 2013, with diabetes mellitus (DM) accounting for around 90 % of all diabetes cases. By 2025 the number will rise to 592 million.1 The association between DM and cardiovascular disease is well established2 and percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with worse clinical and angiographic outcomes…

Dr Cecilia Low Wang (Colorado Prevention Center, US) discusses the findings from the VOYAGER PAD - rivaroxaban in symptomatic PAD with and without comorbid diabetes study. The study assessed the efficacy and safety of rivaroxaban in patients with PAD with concomitant diabetes after lower extremity revascularization.
The study presented at ESC Congress 2021 showed that the efficacy of rivaroxaban…

The use of second-generation polymeric metallic drug-eluting stents (DES) in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is now routine practice and has demonstrated excellent safety and efficacy compared with first-generation DES. These stents have enhanced PCI procedures, enabling the treatment of more complex lesions and…

Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) are established strategies for revascularisation in patients with coronary artery disease. While CABG was the standard of care for patients with multivessel disease, the introduction of baremetal stents (BMSs) and, later, drug-eluting stents (DESs) has led to an increased use of PCI in these more challenging cases…

EASD 2023 – Dr Carl G Streed (Boston University School of Medicine, US) joins us to summarise healthcare disparities among the LGBTQ+ population.In this interview, Dr Streed discusses the available evidence and explains the minority stress model. This model suggests that experiences of discrimination and stress contribute to worse health outcomes in the LGBTQ community. This can lead to mental…

Cardiovascular disease is a major consequence of diabetes and is associated with peculiar features in this subgroup of patients, representing roughly 25% of the total population treated with percutaneous coronary interventions (PCIs). A consistent proportion of these patients have asymptomatic myocardial ischaemia, which is a more extensive and diffuse atherosclerotic disease with more prevalent…

Patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) have an increased prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and are more likely to require coronary revascularisation than patients without DM.1 Similar to the general population, CAD remains the most frequent cause of death among patients with DM.2 As the prevalence of DM continues to rise worldwide, the appropriate management and method of…

Newer generation polymeric metallic drug-eluting stents (DES) have shown improved efficacy and safety compared with bare-metal stents and first-generation DES, improving patient outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and facilitating the treatment of more complex coronary disease.1 However, clinical outcomes in certain lesion and patient subsets remain suboptimal. Procedural and…

Coronary artery disease is a major cause of morbidity and mortality among patients with diabetes.1 The presence of diabetes is associated with at least a doubling of the risk for subsequent cardiovascular disease and cardiovascular death,2–4 and the diagnosis of coronary artery disease is more difficult in patients with diabetes owing to frequent atypical symptoms or silent ischaemia. Furthermore…
