Core Tip

Core Tip: The present study reveals the imaging characteristics of patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) combined with coronary heart disease (CHD). The risk analysis model revealed fasting blood glucose and glycosylated hemoglobin as independent risk factors for T2DM complicated by CHD, and metformin treatment as an independent protective factor. A prediction model for clinical assessment of T2DM complicated with CHD is established, which will promote the development of early diagnosis and risk stratification of T2DM complicated with CHD.
