Prognostic value of normal stress myocardial perfusion imaging in diabetic patients: A meta-analysis

The prognostic value of normal stress myocardial perfusion single-photon emission computed tomography (MPS) in patients with diabetes has only been evaluated in single-center studies of relatively limited sample size. We performed a meta-analysis of published studies, including diabetic patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD), to assess the predictive value for adverse cardiac ischemic events of normal stress MPS.
