摘要
A retrospective cohort study was performed to investigate the relationship between diabetic retinopathy and coronary artery disease in 371 Japanese adult patients with type 2 diabetes. We found that proliferative retinopathy was significantly associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease, even after adjustment for classical coronary risk factors.
