Screening for coronary artery disease in diabetic patients: A commentary
Diabetes is a major coronary artery disease (CAD) risk factor which is increasing in prevalence, and commonly associated with asymptomatic CAD. Patients with diabetes without previous myocardial infarction or cardiovascular disease have been shown to have a similar prognosis as persons without diabetes but with prior myocardial infarction or cardiovascular disease. Based on these group and popu...

متن کاملThe Benefit of Ultrasound Screening of Asymptomatic Carotid Stenosis in Diabetic Patients with Coronary Artery Disease

This recommendation was not tailored to include high risk subgroups (diabetics with coronary artery disease). Methods: We conducted a retrospective case control study on previously asymptomatic, elderly, diabetic patients with history of coro...
متن کاملThe Utility of Carotid Ultrasonography in Identifying Severe Coronary Artery Disease in Asymptomatic Type 2 Diabetic Patients Without History of Coronary Artery Disease
OBJECTIVE Although many studies have shown that carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD), it remains inconclusive whether assessment of carotid IMT is useful as a screening test for asymptomatic but severe CAD in diabetic patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS A total of 333 asymptomatic type 2 diabetic patients without history of CAD underwent exer...
متن کاملCarotid artery disease in diabetic patients.
There are two points of view on the interplay between carotid artery disease and diabetes mellitus: Diabetes mellitus has been recognized as one of the main determinants for the presence and progression of asymptomatic and symptomatic carotid artery disease; and carotid intima-media thickness has been defined as a useful tool for risk stratification of this population. Hyperglycaemia, duration ...
