Why the study?
To study structural and functional myocardial characteristics in patients with exertional angina and type 2 diabetes versus those without diabetes to identify combined hemodynamic changes.
Does the presence of type 2 diabetes worsen structural and functional myocardial characteristics in patients with chronic coronary artery disease?
Comparison
CAD with type 2 diabetes vs CAD without diabetes

May warrant closer monitoring in CAD with diabetes; leaves open causal mechanisms and intervention effects.
Does the presence of type 2 diabetes worsen structural and functional myocardial characteristics in patients with chronic coronary artery disease?
The combination of chronic CAD and type 2 diabetes is associated with worse central and intracardiac hemodynamics, left ventricular hypertrophy, and reduced exercise tolerance compared to CAD alone.
