Diabetes-associated microvascular impairment in aortic stenosis is hypothesis-generating; prospective studies needed before clinical implications.
Does type II diabetes mellitus additionally impair coronary microvascular function in asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis and nonobstructed coronary arteries?
Type II diabetes mellitus independently impairs coronary microvascular function, as assessed by coronary flow reserve, in asymptomatic patients with severe aortic stenosis and nonobstructed coronary arteries.
Banović et al. (2016) studied this question.
