Assessment of Subclinical Coronary Atherosclerosis in Asymptomatic Patients With Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus With Single Photon Emission Computed Tomography and Coronary Computed Tomography Angiography
The American Journal of Cardiology, 09/30/09

Choi EK et al. – A significant percentage of patients with DM and normal eletrocardiographic findings, no peripheral arterial disease, and normal findings on SPECT have evidence of occult CAD on CCTA. Furthermore, a small percentage had had a cardiac event by mid–term follow–up. SPECT showed limited capability to differentiate the coronary risks between patients with DM and no coronary plaque and from those with a certain degree of disease; 2 circumstances that represent different coronary risks.
