Published in: European Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging | Issue 9/2010

Excerpt

Diabetes is a major risk factor for heart disease and is becoming a global health-care problem. Cardiovascular complications including coronary artery disease, are the most common causes of mortality and morbidity in patients with type 2 diabetes. In addition, associated cardiac autonomic neuropathy is one of the most common complications and has been associated with increased risk of mortality and major cardiovascular events [1]. …
