Why the study?
Asymptomatic CAD is common in patients with diabetes mellitus and carries increased complication risks, but screening methods in patients with T2DM remain non-unified.
What is the diagnostic accuracy of exercise stress testing for asymptomatic coronary artery disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?
What is the diagnostic accuracy of exercise stress testing for asymptomatic coronary artery disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus?
Exercise stress testing has moderate sensitivity and specificity for the initial screening of asymptomatic coronary artery disease in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
