Why the study?
Does stress single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging predict cardiac death and MI in diabetic patients with symptoms suggestive of coronary artery disease?
Does stress single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging predict cardiac death and MI in diabetic patients with symptoms suggestive of coronary artery disease?
Abnormal stress MPI independently predicts subsequent cardiac events in diabetic patients with symptoms of CAD, providing valuable risk stratification.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
May support stress MPI for risk stratification in symptomatic diabetics; leaves open whether it alters management or outcomes.
Giri et al. (2002) studied this question.
