Abstract
Coronary artery disease (CAD) represents the leading cause of death in diabetic patients. Silent myocardial ischaemia more often occurs in diabetics than in non-diabetics. It has been well recognised that silent myocardial ischaemia is not different from symptomatic ischaemia with respect to prognosis and adverse events. Asymptomatic high-risk diabetic patients therefore might benefit from routine screening for silent ischaemia and risk stratification; furthermore, silent ischaemia has to be treated accordingly.Entities:
