Diffuse narrowing of coronary arteries in diabetic patients: the earliest phase of coronary artery disease.

abstract：:Since the introduction of fenofibrate to European clinical practice in 1975, some 6.5 million patient-years of experience in the treatment of hyperlipidemia have been accumulated. A review of results of clinical trials shows fenofibrate to have a broad spectrum of lipid-lowering activity, reducing the total cholestero...
