Comparison of Coronary Computed Tomographic Angiographic Findings in Asymptomatic Subjects With Versus Without Diabetes Mellitus.

There are limited data on the impact of diabetes mellitus (DM) on the risk of subclinical atherosclerosis. Therefore, we sought to investigate the impact of DM on the risk of subclinical atherosclerosis in asymptomatic subjects. We analyzed 2,034 propensity score-matched asymptomatic subjects who underwent coronary computed tomographic angiography (mean age 55.

Impact of Metabolic Syndrome on Subclinical Atherosclerosis in Asymptomatic Individuals.

Background: Little is known about subclinical atherosclerosis on coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) in asymptomatic individuals with metabolic syndrome (MetS).

Methods And Results: We analyzed 5,213 asymptomatic individuals who underwent CCTA. A cardiac event was defined as a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction, unstable angina, or coronary revascularization.

Risk score model for the assessment of coronary artery disease in asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes.

No model has been developed to predict significant coronary artery disease (CAD) on coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) in asymptomatic type 2 diabetes. Therefore, we sought to develop a model for the prediction of significant CAD on CCTA in these patients. We analyzed 607 asymptomatic patients with type 2 diabetes who underwent CCTA.

Prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis in an Asian population: findings from coronary computed tomographic angiography.

We sought to estimate the prevalence of coronary atherosclerosis by coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) and to identify risk factors attributable to the development of coronary atherosclerosis in an asymptomatic Asian population. We analyzed 6,311 consecutive asymptomatic individuals aged 40 and older with no prior history of coronary artery disease (CAD) who voluntarily underwent CCTA evaluation as part of a general health examination. The mean age of study participants was 54.
