In patients with diabetes mellitus, myocardial perfusion defects are often observed in the
absence of obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease (CAD), thereby presenting a …

Background Coronary artery disease is a leading cause of death among diabetics, and
silent ischemia is a major concern in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods To detect …

Background We assessed the prognostic value of structural abnormalities and coronary
vasodilator function in diabetic patients referred to a PET/CT for suspected coronary artery …

Background Endothelial dysfunction precedes overt atherosclerosis and is present in
patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM). Myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is an …

Purpose We assessed the impact of type 2 diabetes, in the presence of other major
cardiovascular risk factors, on coronary microvascular function and myocardial perfusion in …

BACKGROUND: We sought to assess prospectively the evidence for silent coronary artery
disease (CAD) in asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus by stress single …

Objective The prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) is high in patients with diabetes.
Because ischemia and infarction are often silent in diabetic patients, diagnosis of CAD …

Purpose The purpose of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of an abnormal stress
myocardial perfusion study in a cohort of truly asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes …

Diabetes mellitus is associated with a poor cardiovascular prognosis. Stress myocardial
single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) reliably detects coronary ischaemia …

Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes mellitus (DM) is commonly accompanied by an early initiation
and/or acceleration of the coronary artery disease (CAD) process that likely accounts for …
