Figure 1 Distribution of coronary segments by severity grade and by categories of hyperglycemia. Patients are categorized according to the new criteria of the American Diabetes Association (1997): normal patients (fasting plasma glucose < 6.1 mM/L; n = 291); impaired fasting glucose (6.1 mM/L  fasting plasma glucose < 7.0 mM/L; n = 82). Diabetic patients are subdivided into "mild" diabetes (no antidiabetic treatment and 7.0 mM/L fasting plasma glucose < 7.8 mM/L; n = 20) and WHO diabetes (already treated for diabetes or fasting plasma glucose  7.8 mM/L; n = 73). Severity grades are defined in the Methods section. NS for p > 0.05. WHO = World Health Organization.
