TL;DR
Younger diabetic individuals appear to have calcified plaque burden comparable to that of older individuals without diabetes, calling for future research to determine if EBT-CAC screening has an incremental value over the current CAD risk assessment of individuals with diabetes.
Abstract
Younger diabetic individuals appear to have calcified plaque burden comparable to that of older individuals without diabetes. These findings call for future research to determine if EBT-CAC screening has an incremental value over the current CAD risk assessment of individuals with diabetes.

The high rates of abnormal fasting and postchallenge glucose found in NHANES III, together with the increasing frequency of obesity and sedentary lifestyles in the population, make it likely that diabetes will continue to be a major health problem in the U.S.

The impact of diabetes on CVD is examined, and LDL cholesterol and albuminuria should be the targets of preventive strategies, and promising new areas such as cytokines, growth factor, and the role of infection should be further explored.

1,009 Citations1998Giuseppe Sangiorgi, John A. Rumberger +5 more
Coronary calcium quantification is an excellent method of assessing atherosclerotic plaque presence at individual artery sites and the remodeling phenomenon is the likely explanation for the lack of a good predictive value between lumen narrowing and quantification of mural calcification.

This document was written primarily for the clinician who would like to learn the latest approaches to the investigation of patients with CVI and the new applications that have emerged from recent research, as well as for the novice who is embarking on venous research.

839 Citations2000Paolo Raggi, Tracy Q. Callister +6 more
Coronary calcium is present in most patients who suffer acute coronary events, but although the event rate is greater for patients with high absolute CSs, few patients have this degree of calcification on a screening EBCT, and CS percentiles constitute a more effective screening method to stratify individuals at risk.

796 Citations2000Robert A. O’Rourke, Bruce H. Brundage +20 more
Electron-beam computed tomography (EBCT) is a highly sensitive technique for detecting coronary artery calcium and is being used with increasing frequency for the screening of asymptomatic people to assess those at high risk for developing coronary heart disease (CHD) and cardiac events, as well as for the diagnosis of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in symptomatic patients.

749 Citations2000Yadon Arad, Louise A. Spadaro +3 more
In asymptomatic adults, EBCT of the coronary arteries predicts coronary death and nonfatal MI and the need for revascularization procedures and the odds ratios remained high after adjustment for self-reported cardiovascular risk factors.

The data indicate that among women, history of diabetes is associated with dramatically increased risks of death from all causes and fatal CHD, and the combination of diabetes and prior CHD identifies particularly high-risk women.

The group is convinced of the importance of understanding and intervening early in the continuum of events that lead to CVD, starting with the metabolic syndrome as it progresses to impaired fasting glucose (IFG) and ultimately hyperglycemia.

Diabetes CareIncreased Prevalence of Significant Coronary Artery Calcification in Patients With Diabetes
182 Citations2001Sunita Schurgin, Stuart Rich +1 more
A substantial prevalence of significant coronary artery disease in an asymptomatic diabetic patient population compared with non-diabetic control subjects is indicated and EBCT may be a useful approach for selecting a group of diabetic subjects who would benefit most from additional evaluation for subclinical coronary arteries disease.

158 Citations2000J C Olson, Daniel Edmundowicz +3 more
EBT-detected CAC is strongly correlated with CAD in type 1 diabetes-particularly in men, but CAC was not independently associated with angina and ischemic ECG in either sex.
StrokeDoes the Association of Risk Factors and Atherosclerosis Change With Age?

Data suggest that most risk factors continue to be associated with increased Atherosclerosis at older ages, possibly suggesting a continued value in investigation of strategies to reduce atherosclerosis by controlling risk factors at older age groups.

120 Citations2000John M. Hayden, Peter D. Reaven
Increasing evidence has emerged suggesting that conditions associated with diabetes mellitus type 2, such as insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia and hyperglycemia, may also play a significant role in regulating ‘novel’ cardiovascular risk factors.
CirculationPrevention Conference VI: Diabetes and Cardiovascular Disease

Electron beam computed tomography (EBCT) is a non-invasive procedure that detects coronary artery disease by measuring the amount of coronary artery calcium (CAC), which may play a useful role in following the progression of CAD in patients with diabetes, as well as evaluating the influence of risk factor intervention and diabetic control.

66 Citations2001Emád Khaleeli, Stephen R. Peters +4 more
The high prevalence of CC in asymptomatic persons with diabetes supports the need for aggressive management of diabetes and associated risk factors and confirms that higher CC scores should be used in diabetic patients to improve the specificity of CC to determine obstructive disease.

After adjusting for baseline risk factors using proportional hazards model, the risk of IHD incidence was still 38% higher in the non-west compared to the west, however, the effect of hypertension, diabetes, and body mass index varied by region.
