Abstract
To assess the prognostic value of exercise echocardiography in subjects who had diabetes, we studied 214 patients who had 28 hard cardiac events (cardiac death in 15, myocardial infarction in 13) during a follow-up of 44 +/- 16 months. Independent risk factors for predicting cardiac events were insulin therapy (odds ratio 2.313), peak left ventricular ejection fraction (odds ratio 0.973), and ischemia detected by exercise echocardiography (odds ratio 2.513).Entities:
