Background: Extensive evidence shows that diabetes mellitus (DM) and smoking (SM) amplify the risk of cardiovascular disease. In the current study we evaluated the effect of combined DM/smoking status and its interplay with burden of coronary artery calcium(CAC) on risk of all-cause mortality.
methods: The study cohort consisted of 44,052 (54±10 years, 54% men) consecutive asymptomatic individuals free of known coronary heart disease referred for CAC testing to improve risk assessment. Individuals were grouped as follows (DM(-)/SM (-), n=36,216 82%), (DM(-)/SM (+), n=5,448, 13%), (DM(+)/SM (-), n=1,816 4%), (DM(+)/SM (+), n=572, 1%).
results: Overall 901 deaths (2.05%) were recorded during a mean follow-up of 5.6 ± 2.6 years. When stratified according to CAC scores (figure), the lowest fatality rate was observed in patients with no CAC and DM(-)/SM (-), whereas those with CAC≥400 and (DM(+)/SM (+)had the highest all-cause fatality rate. In multivariable analyses adjusting for CAC and other risk factors, as compared to DM (-)/SM (-), the HR for all-cause mortality among smokers alone, diabetics alone and both conditions were 3.44 (2.89-4.10), 2.52 (2.02-3.13) and 5.04 (3.67-6.93).
conclusions: The combination of smoking and DM is associated with significantly higher risk of death across the entire spectrum of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis.
