*    Introduction
 
In Part I, we addressed the pathobiology linking diabetes mellitus and atherosclerosis.1 Diabetes is a major risk factor for cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. This condition increases the risk of developing coronary, cerebrovascular, and peripheral arterial disease up to 4-fold.2 Disease severity, as measured by chronic glycemia, is associated with an increasing frequency of clinical events in each vascular bed.3 The effect of diabetes on atherosclerosis is so pronounced that the benefit of female gender is eliminated in women with diabetes, who have an event rate similar to that of men with diabetes.4–6 Compared with patients without diabetes, those with diabetes have greater de novo disease progression and higher cardiovascular mortality rates.2,7,8 This part of the review will focus on clinical manifestations of and management strategies for atherosclerotic vascular disease in patients with diabetes.


*    Clinical Manifestations of Atherosclerosis in Diabetes
 
Coronary Artery Disease
Diabetes is associated with a 2- to 4-fold increase in the risk of developing coronary artery disease. The risk of a myocardial infarction in patients with diabetes and no evidence of coronary artery disease matches that of patients without diabetes who have had a previous myocardial infarction.8 In the recent report of the Adult Treatment Panel of the National Cholesterol Education Program,9 type 2 diabetes mellitus was accorded a coronary artery disease risk-equivalent. In patients with known coronary artery disease and diabetes, the rates of death approach 45% over 7 years and 75% over 10 years.8 Outcomes are worse in diabetic patients for each manifestation of coronary artery disease. Diabetic patients presenting with unstable angina are more . . . [Full Text of this Article]
