Table 1. Potential pathogenic contributors to a greater burden of CHD in patients with type 2 diabetes.

  - Greater plaque burden
  - Greater complexity of lesions
  - Greater coronary calcifications
  - Greater extent of coronary ischaemia
  - More diffuse disease
  - More multi-vessel disease
  - More significantly-affected vessels
  - Fewer normal vessels
  - Reduced coronary collateral recruitment
  - Reduced coronary vasodilatory reserve
