Overview

Cross-sectional analysis reveals HbA1c and hypertension as major risk factors for coronary artery calcium in diabetes.

Key Points

  • Elevated coronary artery calcium scores were found in 61.5% of diabetic patients, indicating high prevalence of cardiovascular risk.
  • A significant positive correlation exists between HbA1c levels and total CAC score (r = 0.317, p = 0.022) among the diabetic population.
  • This cross-sectional study involved 52 diabetic patients from Wahidin Sudirohusodo General Hospital in Indonesia, who were assessed for CAC using non-contrast ECG-gated CT.
  • Findings highlight the critical need for early cardiovascular risk assessment and effective management of HbA1c and hypertension in diabetic patients.
