Outline of Final Research Achievements

As a result of three years accumulation of data, in the last year we have paid attention to the insulin resistance, which lies the upstream of metabolic domino. We are currently working on the analysis of serial changes in coronary plaques before and after application of diabetic medicine. Regarding this issue, we are planning to submit the abstract to the commercial magazine. Nowadays data for patients with chronic hemodialysis are lacking in terms of the serial changes in coronary plaque after the implantation of the 2nd generation drug eluting stent. Therefore, we are also working on the analysis of this issue. We have already completed the case entry and now on the final stage of analysis. Taken together, we are supposed to submit the overall results of studies to the prestigious international journal.
