Abstract

Introduction: Total coronary artery calcium (CAC) score is an effective predictor of cardiovascular events in individuals with and without diabetes. Diabetes patients have a greater rate of CVD events, which we hypothesize is related to their greater development of diffuse atherosclerosis. The main goal of this study is to determine the pattern of atherosclerosis distribution in individuals with and without diabetes mellitus (DM) utilizing a novel 10 segment model.
