NCT01426685

Brief Summary

The study will include 1200 patients with type 2 diabetes and angiographically documented coronary artery disease and 600 matched non-diabetic patients without type 2 diabetes. Extensive traditional and novel risk marker tests are performed for the patients and they will be followed-up for 5 years. Sudden cardiac death is the main outcome measure and various other endpoints are secondary endpoints. As a substudy, 120 diabetic patients and 120 non-diabetic patients will undergo exercise training with home monitoring to assess the effects of exercise training on risk profiles.

    2007-2017 (up to ten years)

Secondary Outcomes (2)

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

1200 diabetic patients with coronary artery disease and 600 non-diabetic patients with coronary artery disease.

You may qualify if:

  • A total of 1200 patients with CAD and diagnosed type II diabetes and 600 patients with CAD but without evidence of diabetes will be included in the study. The patients will be recruited from the consecutive series of patients undergoing coronary angiography in the division of cardiology of the Oulu University Hospital. First, 600 patients with diabetes will be collected. Thereafter, 600 matched CAD patients without diabetes will be recruited. The groups will be matched in terms of following variables:
  • sex (1:1)
  • age (\<40 years, 40-50 years, 50-60 years, 60-70 years, 70-80 years)
  • history of recent (\<3 months) myocardial infarction (1:1)
  • type of coronary intervention after angiography (1:1 CABG ).
  • Diabetes is defined as fasting plasma glucose levels ≥ 7.0 and/or a 2-h postload value in the OGTT 11.1 mmol/l according to definition and diagnosis of diabetes mellitus and intermediate hyperglycemia : report of a WHO/IDF consultation. World Health Organization (WHO) 2006. -
  • Patients without a diabetes must be normoglycemic defined as plasma glucose levels \<6.1 mmol/l in the fasting state and a 2-h postload value \< 7.8 mmol/l in the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).

You may not qualify if:

  • NYHA class IV despite appropriate treatment of heart failure;
  • Planned ICD implantation;
  • Participation in a competing clinical trial that is not accepted by the Steering Committee;
  • Psychologically or physically (due to any other illness) unfit for participation in the study according to the opinion of the investigator;
  • Patient compliance doubtful;
  • Patients who are geographically or otherwise inaccessible for follow-up;
  • Pregnancy;
  • Life expectancy \< 1 year;
  • end-stage renal failure needing dialysis
  • age \< 18 years, or \> 80 years
  • permanent pacemaker or implantable cardioverter-defibrillator
