A retrospective cohort of coronary artery disease development after at least two angiograms in patients with normal coronary angiograms or mild coronary artery disease.

Background: Coronary Artery Disease is one of the leading causes of death in the world. CAD usually progresses slowly during time and patients with normal or near-normal coronary arteries are also at risk of developing CAD. It is now believed that even mild atherosclerosis can increase the rate of CAD.

Inadequate achievement of ABC goals (HbA1c, blood pressure, LDL-C) among patients with type 2 diabetes in an Iranian population, 2012-2017.

Aims: This study was designed to evaluate the meeting of ABC goals in patients with type 2 diabetes. The ABC goals were defined as meeting the HbA1c <7%, systolic blood pressure <130 mmHg and diastolic blood pressure <80 mmHg, and LDL-C <100 mg/dL. We also determined the associated factors with meeting the ABC goals, as well as the effectiveness of statin therapy.
