%X diabetic women have higher morbidity and mortality associated with ischemic coronary events than diabetic men, but the extension of coronary artery disease in both groups is less well established. aim: to compare the extension, magnitude and severity of coronary atherosclerosis between men and women with type 2 diabetes mellitus. method: 162 consecutive diabetic patients with suspected coronary atherosclerosis studied by coronary angiography were included. the magnitude of atherosclerosis was quantified using the gensini score. results: the average age was 64.8 years. ninety-four patients were women (58.0%). diabetes was present for 152 ¡À 90.0 months for women and 120 ¡À 99.4 months for men (p <0.05). women had a higher body mass index (30.5 ¡À 5.1) than men (28.5 ¡À 5.2, p<0.05). the presence of significant coronary atherosclerosis in the entire diabetic population was of 61.7%: 76.5% in men and 51.5% in women (or 1.5). the mean number of atherosclerotic plaques was 195 in 68 men (2.86 plaques/patient) and 168 in 94 women (1.78 plaques/patient, p=0.0043). significant atherosclerosis in 1, 2 and 3 vessels was observed in 7.4%, 17.6% and 51.5% of men, respectively, versus 12.8%, 10.6% and 27.7% in women (p<0.0002). the magnitude of coronary disease measured by gensini score was 69.4 + 66.7 in men versus 35.6 ¡À 47.3 in women (p<0.005). conclusion: men with diabetes have greater extension, magnitude and severity of coronary atherosclerosis than diabetic women.
