“…The detrimental impact of even mild defects in diabetics was demonstrated by Navare et al [22], who observed cardiac death and MI rates in patients with DM to be much higher than the rates of nondiabetics with similar perfusion defects. Diabetics with mild defects had similar cardiac event-free survival as nondiabetics with moderate to severe perfusion defects.…”

Diabetes mellitus has reached epidemic proportions, creating a large population of people at increased risk for cardiac events. Single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging (SPECT MPI) provides an effective tool to accurately diagnose and risk stratify patients with diabetes, similar to patients without diabetes. Diabetics, however, are at increased risk for coronary events. Diabetics with normal MPI have increased late cardiac events, and even those with mild perfusion defects have increased event rates compared with nondiabetics with similar perfusion abnormalities. Stress MPI can provide valuable risk stratification data for both sexes, with or without diabetes. However, diabetes appears to exert a greater relative impact in women than in men. Despite the absence of symptoms, the incidence and prevalence of coronary artery disease is increased in patients with diabetes. Further studies and research will be needed to define the eventual role of SPECT MPI in asymptomatic diabetics.

“…Some of the exciting data on the use of nuclear perfusion imaging presented at this meeting dealt with the epidemic of metabolic syndrome. The role of nuclear perfusion studies as a screening test in patients with diabetes mellitus, test for risk factor stratification, and test to demonstrate the value of glucose lowering on coronary circulation and myocardial ischemia was established in presentations made by several groups of investigators (13,14). The prevalence of silent myocardial ischemia is high in patients with diabetes as compared with those without diabetes (15).…”
