Abstract

The prognosis of patients with type 2 diabetes is reduced by coronary artery disease. The aim of treatment is therefore not only to treat angina symptoms but also improve the prognosis by medical and interventional treatment. LDL-lowering and coronary revascularisation have the largest beneficial impact on prognosis.
