Aggressive Versus Moderate Glycemic Control in Diabetic Coronary Bypass Patients

June 22, 2015 updated by: Harold L. Lazar MD, American Heart Association

Impact of Aggressive Versus Moderate Glycemic Control on Clinical Outcomes Following Coronary Artery Bypass Graft Surgery in Diabetic Patients

entGlycemic control has been found to improve clinical outcomes following Coronary Bypass Surgery. This study tests the hypothesis that obtaining tighter glycemic control(80-120mg/dl) as opposed to more moderate control (120-180mg/dl) will further improve outcomes.

Detailed Description

150 diabetic patients will be randomized to achieve aggressive glycemic control (80-120mg/dl) vs moderate control (120-180mg/dl) using intravenous insulin infusions beginning at anesthetic induction and continuing for 18 hours following surgery.
