Overview

Highlights waist-hip ratio and SBP as CACS correlates in asymptomatic T2DM; leaves open whether modifying these alters progression.

Structured PICO

What is the association between coronary calcium score and conventional cardiovascular risk factors in asymptomatic Type 2 diabetic subjects?

P
Population
495 Type 2 diabetic subjects attending routine hospital diabetic clinics without known coronary heart disease (CHD), mean age 62.9, 67.7% male.
O
Outcome
Association between coronary calcification score (CACS) and cardiovascular risk factorssurrogate

Coronary calcification in asymptomatic Type 2 diabetes is closely associated with waist-hip ratio and systolic blood pressure, suggesting a link to the metabolic syndrome.
