Repeat Perfusion Imaging Helps Assess CAD Risk in Diabetics

NEW YORK — Negative results in a myocardial perfusion imaging study offer no assurance that a patient won't later develop coronary artery disease, especially if the patient has diabetes and more than 2 years have passed since the negative study,

“Physicians need to have a low threshold for doing repeat myocardial perfusion imaging [MPI] on a patient with diabetes,” he said. “They need to have a broad definition of the symptoms that should trigger a second MPI in these patients.”

Examples of atypical symptoms that should raise concern about coronary disease in patients with diabetes include dyspnea, sharp chest pain, and variable responses to exertion

Midlife Diabetes Diagnosis Doubles Dementia Risk

A midlife diagnosis of diabetes increases the risk of developing Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia, based on results of a twin study including more than 13,000 individuals.

Previous studies have shown that people with diabetes are at increased risk for dementia, but little is known about the mechanism of action, wrote Dr. Weili Xu of the Karolinska Institutet, Stockholm, and the Stockholm Gerontology Research Center. Dr. Xu and colleagues conducted this twin study to examine the effect of diabetes on dementia and assess the possible role of genetics (Diabetes 2009;58:71–7).
