Background:Even though diabetes mellitus (DM) has been considered a “Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) equivalent”, that is still controversial, especially in a contemporary population subject to optimized treatment.Objective:We aimed to assess the cardiovascular risk of diabetics by myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS).Methods:Consecutive patients who underwent MPS from 2008 to 2012 were studied. Perfusion scores were calculated, and abnormal MPS was defined as a summed stress score >3. Patients were followed for 3±1 years for all-cause death, which was compared between patients with DM (without known CAD) and patients with known CAD but without DM.Results:Among 3409 patients, 471 (13.8%) were diabetics without known CAD (DM group) and 638 (18.7%) had CAD without diabetes (CAD group). Annualized death rates were not significantly different between DM or CAD patients (0.9vs1.5%, p=0.09). With normal MPS, death rates were 0.7% for DM and 0.6% for CAD (p=0.8). With abnormal MPS, death rates increased similarly in the DM and CAD groups.Conclusions:In diabetic patients without known CAD, the rate of death was not significantly different from patients with prior CAD and without DM. Abnormal MPS increased risk similarly in diabetic patients and in those with CAD. These findings suggest that DM may still be considered a high-risk condition, comparable to known CAD, and effectively stratified by MPS.

<b>Aims: </b>To determine associations of systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic blood pressure (DBP) with new-onset coronary artery disease (CAD) or cerebrovascular disease (CVD) according to glucose status. <p><b>Research Design and Methods: </b>Examined was a nationwide claims database from 2008 – 2016<b> </b>on 593,196 individuals. Cox proportional hazards model identified risks of CAD and CVD events among 5 levels of SBP and DBP. </p> <p><b>Results:</b> During the study period 2,240 CAD and 3,207 CVD events occurred. Compared with SBP ≤119 mmHg, which was the lowest quintile of SBP, hazard ratios (HRs) (95% confidence interval) for CAD/CVD in the 4 higher quintiles (120-129, 130-139, 140-149, ≥150 mmHg) gradually increased from 2.10 (1.73 to 2.56)/ 1.46 (1.27 to 1.68) in quintile 2 to 3.21 (2.37 to 4.34)/4.76 (3.94 to 5.75) in quintile 5 for normoglycemia; from 1.39 (1.14 to 1.69)/1.70 (1.44 to 2.10) in quintile 2 to 2.52 (1.95 to 3.26)/4.12 (3.38 to 5.02) in quintile 5 for borderline glycemia; and from 1.50 (1.19 to 1.90)/1.72 (1.31 to 2.26) in quintile 2 to 2.52 (1.95 to 3.26)/3.54 (2.66 to 4.70) in quintile 5 for diabetes. A similar trend was observed for DBP across 4 quintiles (75-79, 80-84, 85-89, ≥90 mmHg) compared with ≤74 mmHg, which was the lowest quintile. </p> <p><b>Conclusions: </b>Results indicated that cardiovascular risks gradually increased with increases in SBP and DBP regardless of the presence of and degree of a glucose abnormality. Further interventional trials are required to apply findings from this cohort study to clinical practice. </p>
