Article Synopsis
- The study aims to evaluate the effectiveness of screening asymptomatic diabetic patients for coronary artery disease (CAD) and the benefits of revascularization in those identified as high-risk.
- Diabetic patients will be screened at outpatient services, with participants randomized into two groups: one undergoing exercise tolerance testing and the other receiving standard care.
- Findings will inform prevention strategies for high-risk diabetic patients and assess the feasibility of implementing this screening approach in real-world settings.
