Overview
BARI 2D is a multi–centre prospective international study. Its purpose is to define the best treatment for type 2 diabetes patients with stable ischaemic heart disease (IHD). The primary objective is to compare the overall mortality rates for the group of patients with early revascularisation – coronary angioplasty (PCI) or aortocoronary bypass (CABG) with aggressive medication – and for the group only receiving aggressive medication. At the same time, 2 types of treatment of diabetes are compared. The objective of the paper is to present the design of the study and the baseline characteristics of the patients enrolled in the study in the Czech Republic (their cardiac and metabolic status, lifestyle and treatment, as well as the type of revascularisation chosen according to the extent of coronary artery disease), and to compare these with the characteristics of the patients enrolled in the study in the USA. The baseline data show that there are no significant demographic differences between American and Czech participants in the study. Upon enrolment, Czech patients have the same body mass index (BMI), comparable hypertension and hypercholesterolaemia compensation, but worse diabetes (DM) compensation, worse design of secondary preventive treatment, a higher smoker rate and lower regular physical activity rate. They have also undergone less previous revascularisations, with the CABG option being preferred
to PCI in diseases of 2–3 arteries. Definitive results of the study will be published after its conclusion.
