Demographics
Of 93 patients consenting to participate in ABCD-2, 56
patients had no contraindications to the imaging procedures
and consented to perform both CCTA and ICA.
In eight patients CT angiography was not performed, because
of calcium score >1000, rendering 48 patients eligible
for analysis. The patient population studied was
obese (mean BMI 29.6 kg/m2) and middle-aged (mean
age 64 years) with a long history of T2DM (mean duration
15.6 years), not at optimal glycemic control (mean
HbA1c 7.4 %). The majority were males (75 %). Further
characteristics are given in Table 1.
