- Abstract
The article reports on the results of research which was conducted in an effort to assess whether routine screening for coronary artery disease identifies patients with type 2 diabetes as being at high cardiac risk and whether it effects their cardiac outcomes. Researchers used a randomized controlled trial to evaluate 1,123 subjects with type 2 diabetes. They found that in the population of patients that they studied, the cardiac event rates were low and were not significantly reduced by myocardial perfusion imaging screening for myocardial ischemia over 4.8 years.
