Noninvasive screening for coronary atherosclerosis and silent ischemia in asymptomatic type 2 diabetic patients: is it appropriate and cost-effective?
Coronary artery disease (CAD) accounts for 65% to 80% of deaths in diabetic patients. The merits of screening asymptomatic type 2 diabetic patients for either (A) the presence of coronary atherosclerosis by imaging of coronary calcification using cardiac computed tomography or (B) silent ischemia by stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) remain controversial. Some observers have advocated fo...
متن کاملMyocardial Ischemia/Infarction Significance of Silent Ischemia and Microalbuminuria in Predicting Coronary Events in Asymptomatic Patients With Type 2 Diabetes
OBJECTIVES The aim of this study was to investigate the relationships between future coronary heart disease (CHD) events and baseline silent myocardial ischemia (SMI) and microalbuminuria (MA) in subjects with type 2 diabetes (T2D) free from known CHD. BACKGROUND Coronary heart disease is often asymptomatic in subjects with diabetes. There is limited information on the prognostic value of SMI a...
متن کاملApplication of Anatomical and Functional Modalities in Detection of Silent Myocardial Ischemia in Asymptomatic Diabetic Patients- A Review Article
Cardiovascular disease (CAD) screening in asymptomatic patients with diabetes mellitus is controversial. An exercise stress test is a safe and effective initial testing for Ischemic Heart Disease (IHD) screening. Treadmill stress test is not the best screening method for a particular patient who is not able to exercise, abnormal electrocardiogram (ECG) or positive exercise treadmill test (ETT) ...
متن کاملScreening of silent myocardial ischemia in type 2 diabetic patients: a randomized trial comparing isotopic and echocardiographic stress tests.
The prevalence of silent myocardial ischemia (SMI) is more frequent in diabetic patients and is associated with a worse prognosis (1). In order to prevent adverse cardiac events, current guidelines recommend detection of asymptomatic coronary artery disease (CAD) in type 2 diabetic patients with high cardiovascular (CV) risk (2,3). The ECG stress test is recommended but frequently inconclusive ...
متن کاملOsteoprotegerin is associated with silent coronary artery disease in high-risk but asymptomatic type 2 diabetic patients.
OBJECTIVE Osteoprotegerin (OPG) is an inhibitor of osteoclastogenesis, which has been recently involved in atherosclerosis. The relationship between coronary atherosclerosis and OPG has never been studied in asymptomatic type 2 diabetic patients. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS This is a nested case-control study; 162 asymptomatic type 2 diabetic patients were evaluated for silent myocardial isch...
