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… View more

Proceedings of Two Satellite Symposia Held at EuroPCR in May 2015 in Paris 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… View more

Patients with diabetes have abnormalities in the growth and function of arterial smooth-muscle and endothelial cells and consequently have a particularly aggressive and diffuse pattern of atherosclerosis, leading to increased cardiovascular complications and mortality compared with the non-diabetic population.1–4 However, the molecular signalling underlying the accelerated atherosclerosis in… View more
