Discovery of the day
The ACCoDiab study demonstrates that the presence of diabetic retinopathy significantly improves the predictive value of coronary artery calcium scoring for cardiovascular events in patients with type 2 diabetes. Researchers found that integrating retinopathy status into coronary artery calcium-based risk models reclassified a substantial proportion of patients into more accurate risk categories. For a clinical diabetologist and leader in diabetes complications care, this finding provides a readily available, non-invasive biomarker to refine cardiovascular risk assessment and guide aggressive preventive therapy in high-risk patients with microvascular disease.
