Abstract
The analysis of the incidence of a number of risk factors for coronary heart disease in 2,700 people with angio-graphically documented coronary atherosclerosis in the electronic register of the Department of Interventional Cardiology in the period from September 1/09/ 2007 to 01/10/2012 was performed. Hypertension, dyslipidemia and multivessel coronary artery lesions were the most frequent in patients with DM. According to our data the most important risk factor for coronary artery disease in patients with diabetes in Ukraine is dyslipidemia, the incidence of which is 2.7 times higher than in the group of patients with coronary artery disease without diabetes.
