The prognostic value of normal stress myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (MPS) in patients with diabetes has only been evaluated in single-center studies of relatively limited sample size. We performed a meta-analysis of published studies, including diabetic patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), to assess the predictive value for adverse cardiac ischemic events of normal stress MPS.

Abstract

The prognostic value of normal stress myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (MPS) in patients with diabetes has only been evaluated in single-center studies of relatively limited sample size. We performed a meta-analysis of published studies, including diabetic patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), to assess the predictive value for adverse cardiac ischemic events of normal stress MPS.
