Associated with higher silent ischaemia in diabetics with CAD; leaves open whether screening protocols should change.
Are diabetic patients with coronary artery disease more likely to experience silent myocardial ischaemia during exercise testing than non-diabetic patients?
Diabetic patients with proven coronary artery disease have a significantly higher risk of developing silent myocardial ischemia during exercise testing compared to matched non-diabetic patients.
