* Planned CABG or PCI.
* Type 1 diabetes or newly diagnosed (within 6 months of randomization) type 2 diabetes, poorly controlled type 2 diabetes (HbA1c > 8.5%), newly diagnosed type 2 diabetes (within 6 months of randomization), laboratory evidence of diabetes during screening (fasting plasma glucose * 7.0 mmol/L or HbA1c * 6.5%) without prior diagnosis of diabetes.
* Uncontrolled hypertension.
