OBJECTIVES: To determine the influence of diabetes mellitus on coronary collateral flow by accurate means of collateral flow measurement in a large population with variable degrees of coronary artery disease. METHODS: 200 patients (mean (SD) age 64 (9) years; 100 diabetic and 100 non-diabetic) were enrolled in the study. Coronary collateral flow was assessed in 174 stenotic and in 26 angiographically normal vessels with a pressure guidewire (n = 131), Doppler guidewire (n = 36), or both (n = 33) to calculate pressure or flow velocity derived collateral flow index (CFI). Diabetic patients were perfectly matched with a non-diabetic control group for clinical, haemodynamic, and angiographic parameters. RESULTS: CFI did not differ between the diabetic and the non-diabetic patients (0.21 (0.12) v 0.19 (0.13), not significant). Likewise, CFI did not differ when only angiographically normal vessels (0.20 (0.09) v 0.15 (0.08), not significant) or chronic total coronary occlusions (0.30 (0.14) v 0.30 (0.17), not significant) were compared. Fewer patients in the diabetic group tended to have angina pectoris during the one minute vessel occlusion (60 diabetic v 69 non-diabetic patients, p = 0.15). CONCLUSION: Quantitatively measured coronary CFI did not differ between diabetic and non-diabetic patients with stable coronary artery disease.
