To evaluate a potential association with the study endpoints. Cox regression (method Forward Conditional) was performed to identify the independent predictors of cardiovascular events over time. Treatment started after CT (revascularisation, antiplatelet agents, statins) and duration of diabetes were also regarded. The discriminatory power of cardiovascular events predictors was then evaluated thr
Type-2 diabetics that can enhance prediction provided by established risk models. Our data were consistent with those presented in these studies. Functional tests have also been evaluated to screen asymptomatic diabetics. DIAD (Cardiac Outcomes after Screening for Asymptomatic Coronary Artery Disease in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes) study [14] was a randomised trial that evaluated the impact of i
