Why the study?
Is maximum carotid intima-media thickness associated with the extent of coronary stenosis in type 2 diabetic patients with carotid atherosclerosis but no history of CAD?
Is maximum carotid intima-media thickness associated with the extent of coronary stenosis in type 2 diabetic patients with carotid atherosclerosis but no history of CAD?
Maximum carotid intima-media thickness is closely associated with the extent of asymptomatic coronary stenosis in type 2 diabetic patients with carotid atherosclerosis.
No takes yet. Share an insight, caveat, or question.
Max-IMT may aid noninvasive CAD evaluation in diabetic patients; hypothesis-generating and should not yet change practice.
