Does screening for coronary heart disease improve outcomes in patients with diabetes?

Population

Patients with diabetes, particularly those with atypical cardiac symptoms, abnormal resting ECG, peripheral arterial disease, macroalbuminuria, autonomic neuropathy, or multiple risk factors.

Intervention

Screening for coronary heart disease (CHD)

Screening for coronary heart disease is recommended in diabetic patients with specific risk factors, as the yield of noninvasive testing in this group is 10-20%.
