Cardiovascular disease is the main cause of death for diabetics, and in many cases its presence is silent due to cardiac autonomic neuropathy. Thus, early diagnosis of coronary disease is essential, permitting proper risk stratification and appropriate therapy. This paper examines the usefulness of several noninvasive imaging techniques to study cardiovascular diseases in individuals with diabetes mellitus, with emphasis on nuclear cardiology, and proposes a diagnostic algorithm for detection of silent ischemia.
心血管疾病是糖尿病患者的主要死因，在许多情况下，由于心脏自主神经病变，其存在是无声的。因此，早期诊断冠心病至关重要，可以进行适当的风险分层和适当的治疗。本文探讨了几种非侵入性成像技术在糖尿病患者心血管疾病研究中的应用，重点是核医学，并提出了一种用于检测无症状性缺血的诊断算法。
