Evaluation of the impact of glycemic status on the progression of coronary artery calcification in asymptomatic individuals

Abstract: BackgroundData on the influence of glycemic status on the progression of coronary calcification, an important marker for future adverse cardiovascular events, are limited.MethodsData from the Korea Initiatives on Coronary Artery Calcification (KOICA) registry on 12,441 asymptomatic Korean adults (52 ± 9 years, 84.2% males) without previous history of coronary artery disease and stroke, who underwent serial coronary artery calcification (CAC) screening examinations, were included in this study. The median inter… Show more

“…Despite the relatively low extent score in our study, and the high use of statins, we found a substantial progression in both the extent and severity of CAD. This confirms a more aggressive atherosclerosis seen in T2D, and is in line with a Korean study that demonstrated increased progression of coronary artery calcification in those with diabetes as compared to those without [32].…”

“…DM markedly impaired myocardial microvascular perfusion which is regarded a clinically significant predictive marker of plaque progression in CAD [2527]. Previous studies evaluating the use of serial CCTAs, verified that higher levels of plaque progression occurred in DM patients [4, 5]. Similar results were obtained in this study, which included elective PCI treated patients.…”

“…Serial CCTAs demonstrated that DM patients have a larger numbers of atherosclerotic plaques compared to non-DM patients at an interval of median 3.2 years [4]. The role of DM in CAD progression is now universally accepted [57].…”

“…To our knowledge, there is no study conducted in Ethiopia to assess the ECG abnormality and associated factors among an asymptomatic diabetic patient. Implementing an efficient noninvasive screening and identification of cardiac abnormalities can pick unrecognized and asymptomatic diabetic cardiac impairment [ 20 ]. Thus, this study is aimed to assess electrocardiogram abnormality and associated factors among apparently healthy adult T2DM patients.…”
