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

Follow-up. This study was approved by our Institution Cardiology Department Supervisor and Ethics Committee. All patients provided informed consent before undergoing CT and authorized the use of follow-up information.Patients and eligibility criteriaA total of 85 consecutive type-2 diabetic patients, without history of chest pain or dyspnoea were referred from our hospital's diabetes outpatient c
