Months (range 18 - 68) was performed. During this period, 10 cardiovascular events (11.8 ) were reported: one unstable angina (1.2 ), seven strokes (8.2 ) and two cardiovascular deaths (2.4 ) ?Table 5. No events were observed in patients with zero CS (0 vs. 19.2 , p = 0.007) or without atherosclerotic plaques (0 vs. 17.5 , p = 0.018), both presenting a negative predictive value of 100 . Seven ev

Diovascular events (CVEV) in T2DP. Methods: Eighty-five consecutive T2DP undergoing CT (Phillips Brilliance, 16-slice) with CS and CTA were prospectively enrolled in a transversal case-control study. Patients were followed for 48 months (range 18 - 68) to assess CVEV: cardiovascular death, acute coronary syndrome, revascularisation and stroke. Potential predictors of CVEV were identified.

Ulness of CTA or functional tests in screening asymptomatic diabetics [5,7,8,14]. No study to date has demonstrated additional value of CS and CTA when associated to clinical variables and classic risk scores, such as Framingham. This study aims to assess the additional benefit of CS and CTA, when added to clinical risk stratification schemes, to predict fatal and non fatal cardiovascular events i
