Objective: Because traditional risk factors only partially explain coronary events, it is necessary to search for new ones like fibrinogen which has been related with coronary disease in healthy middle-aged adults. We attempted to determine the impact of fibrinogen on silent myocardial ischaemia (SMI) in diabetic patients.
Methods And Results: In a cross-sectional study, 134 type 2 diabetes patients with no history of cardiovascular disease were assessed for SMI.
