From: Influence of diabetes mellitus on heart failure risk and outcome
Survival in patients with multivessel CAD treated by CABG or PTCA according to presence/absence of diabetes mellitus and left ventricular dysfunction at baseline. Adapted from the BARI study [90]. In the diabetes mellitus (DM) subgroup, the outcome was better in the CABG group than in the PTCA group; this holds true in the presence or in the absence of left ventricular dysfunction.
