Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease in High Risk Diabetic Patients
Diagnosis of Coronary Artery Disease in High Risk Diabetic Patients
The aim of this study is to determine in high risk diabetics if the positive predictive value
 of stress echocardiography is superior to the positive predictive value of stress
 scintigraphy in the diagnosis of coronary stenosis > 50%.
Comparison Between Stress Echocardiography and Stress Scintigraphy in the Detection of Silent
 Myocardial Ischemia
