Abstract
Many studies have examined the prognostic value of myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) using single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) for the prediction of short- to medium-term outcomes. However, the long-term prognostic value of MPI in patients with diabetes mellitus remains unclear. Therefore, this study assessed the long-term prognostic value of MPI in a high-risk cohort of patients with diabetes mellitus. A high-risk cohort of 207 patients with diabetes mellitus who were unable to undergo exercise testing underwent dobutamine stress MPI. Follow-up was successful in 206 patients; 12 patients were excluded due to early revascularization. The current data are based on the remaining 194 patients. Follow-up end points were all-cause mortality, cardiac mortality, and nonfatal myocardial infarction. The Kaplan-Meier survival curves were constructed, and univariable and multivariable analyses were performed to identify predictors of long-term outcome. During a mean follow-up of 8.1 ± 5.9 years, 134 (69%) patients died of which 68 (35%) died due to cardiac causes. Nonfatal myocardial infarction occurred in 24 patients (12%), and late (>60 days) coronary revascularization was performed in 61 (13%) patients. Survival analysi...Continue Reading
