Why the study?
Does coronary vascular dysfunction predict cardiac mortality in patients with and without diabetes mellitus?
Does coronary vascular dysfunction predict cardiac mortality in patients with and without diabetes mellitus?
Impaired coronary flow reserve identifies diabetic patients without known CAD who are at a high risk for cardiac mortality, comparable to those with established CAD.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May refine risk stratification in diabetes without CAD; extends CFR-mortality links but remains hypothesis-generating.
Murthy et al. (2012) studied this question.
