Abstract
Diabetes substantially increases the risk of develo** coronary disease. Several factors associated with diabetes promote increased oxidative stress and endothelial dysfunction. In the coronary microcirculation, endothelial dysfunction causes chronic vasodilation that leads to increased capillary pressure and hyperperfusion, which in turn leads to morphologic changes that narrow the lumen, and limits the ability of the diabetic coronary circulation to increase myocardial perfusion to meet an increase in myocardial nutrient demand. This chapter summarizes some of the key areas of diabetic complications associated with diabetes in the coronary circulation. A better understanding of underlying microvascular and endothelial pathophysiology associated with diabetes would advance development of new targets for prevention and treatment of vascular complications associated with the disease. Future research should focus on areas to improve strategies to prevent and treat diabetes and its complications at the molecular, cellular, organ, animal, and population levels.
