Abstract
Background: Despite the high prevalence and serious clinical implications of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), the relationship between glycemic control and CAD is usually overlooked. This study aimed to explore the relationship between time in range (TIR), a surrogate marker for glycemic control, and CAD in patients with T2DM.
Methods: Overall, 334 patients with T2DM were included and analyzed in this cross-sectional study. The presence of CAD was determined angiographically and the Gensini score was applied to evaluate CAD severity. TIR was calculated from sensor glucose from continuous glucose monitoring. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression analysis was used to evaluate the relationship between TIR and CAD presence.
Results: T2DM with CAD had significantly lower TIR than those without (75.68 ± 13.74 vs 66.12 ± 11.87, P < 0.01). Moreover, TIR was correlated with CAD severity as indicated by the Gensini score. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression analysis indicated that a higher TIR was an independent protective factor for CAD in patients with T2DM (OR = 0.919, 95% CI: 0.896-0.942).
Conclusion: TIR is significantly and independently related to CAD severity in T2DM patients. Thus, TIR could be a promising biomarker for the noninvasive assessment of CAD presence and severity in T2DM.
