Application of dual-source CT coronary angiography in type 2 diabetic patients with symptomatic coronary heart disease.

CONCLUSION: DSCT showed that coronary arteries of diabetic patients with symptomatic CHD were more prone to calcification. There was more non-obstructive than obstructive lumen narrowing; obstructive stenosis and calcification score was positively correlated; coronary plaques were widely distributed, and mainly located in multiple diseased vessels.
