What are the characteristics of coronary artery disease evaluated by CT angiography in symptomatic type 2 diabetic patients?
What are the characteristics of coronary artery disease evaluated by CT angiography in symptomatic type 2 diabetic patients?
Symptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes exhibit a high burden of calcified coronary plaques, particularly in the proximal LAD, and a high prevalence of obstructive stenosis on CTA, with a blunted sex difference in CAD.
May guide CTA-based risk stratification in symptomatic T2DM; leaves open prognostic impact and management implications.
