Clinical investigation of coronary artery disease patients with multi vessel disease and type 2 diabetes evaluated by dual-source computed tomography coronary angiography

Objective:To assess the clinical value of dual-source computed tomography coronary angiography(DSCTA) in diagnosing coronary heant disease(CHD) patients with multi vessel disease and type 2 diabetes. Methods:Forty-eight patients suffering from coronary artery disease and type 2 diabetes were underwent both DSCTA and coronary angiography (CAG). Regarding CAG as a standard reference,50% stenosis in two or more than two major coronary arteries were as multi vessel disease,the reliability of DSCTA for diagnosing coronary stenosis was analyzed. Results:In the forty-eight patients,compared with CAG,the sensitivity and specificity of DSCTA for detecting light, middle and severe multivessel disease were 91.91%, 100.00%, 100.00%, 94.72%, respectively. Conclusions:DSCTA could reliably provide promising value of diagnosing multi vessel disease in CHD patients with type 2 diabetes.
