Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Background: Microvascular function is impaired in patients with stable coronary artery disease. The aim was to study microvascular function in patients with diabetes and acute coronary syndrome (ACS). Methods: Microvascular function was evaluated in 83 patients by laser Doppler fluxmetry (LDF) [PU; perfusion unit, median (interquartile range)] measuring resting LDF and peak LDF following a six min heating of the skin to 44 °C at the foot, respectively. All patients with ACS and without previously known diabetes underwent oral glucose tolerance test. Thirty-nine patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus free from coronary artery disease served as controls. Results: Peak LDF was significantly (P = 0.03) lower in patients with ACS and diabetes (n = 22; 72 (52)) and diabetes without coronary artery disease (n = 39; 69 (51)) as compared to patients with ACS without diabetes (n = 46; 97 (60)), and patients without ACS (n = 15; 140 (121)), respectively. Patients with ACS (n = 68) had significantly (P = 0.04) lower peak LDF (92 (49)) as compared to patients without ACS (n = 15) (140 (121)). Conclusion: Microvascular reactivity is severely impaired in patients with diabetes and ACS. Diabetes has a major influence on microvascular function in patients with coronary artery disease.
