Primary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Examine the prevalence of ischemic heart disease in population of patients with diabetes mellitus and atypical chest pain.
Secondary Outcome Measures
NameTimeMethod
Determine the accuracy of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) and exercise tolerance testing (ETT) for the detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) in a subset of patients undergoing clinically indicated coronary angiography.
Determine the relative value of ETT, Duke Treadmill Score (DTS), MPI, ejection fraction (EF), clinical risk factors, and C-Reactive Protein (CRP) values for identifying patients at risk for cardiac events.
