58This is a randomized trial assessing the impact of allopurinol on endothelial function in optimally treated diabetic patients with coronary artery disease. After initial screening, subjects were randomized to receive either optimal medical therapy (OMT) + allopurinol or OMT alone for 8 weeks. The dose of allopurinol was 300 mg for 4 weeks and 600 mg for 4 weeks with a 4-weekly check on hematology and biochemistry
300 mg for 4 weeks then 600 mg for 4 weeks in the active group
Optimal medical therapy associated with allopurinol. The dose of allopurinol is 300 mg for 4 weeks then 600 mg for 4 weeks
Optimal medical therapy alone
Inclusion Criteria: Diabetes type 2 Known coronary artery disease with previous percutaneous coronary intervention and optimal medical therapy for at least one month Exclusion Criteria: Pregnant or breast- feeding women creatinine clearance <60ml/min Known history of gout disease or ongoing treatment with allopurinol Allergy to allopurinol Inability to provide informed consent
