Cardiology

Diabetes mellitus, both insulin-dependent (IDDM) and non-insulin-dependent (NIDDM), is a major independent risk factor for coronary artery disease. Atherosclerosis accounts for about 80% of all deaths from diabetes, of which three-quarters are from coronary heart disease and the remainder from either cerebrovascular or peripheral vascular events.
