STUDY OF TREADMILL TEST IN DETECTING ASYMPTOMATIC MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA AMONG TYPE 2 DIABETES MELLITUS PATIENTS

Abstract

INTRODUCTION:Diabetes Mellitus(DM) is a major risk factor for cardiovascular diseases, 
including ischemic heart disease (IHD), and significantly increases the risk of cardiovascular 
mortality and morbidity,compared to non-diabetics. Early detection of Asymtomatic (Silent) 
myocardial ischemia in diabetics,may prevent cardiovascular morbidity and mortality with timely 
intervention.Non-invasive tests like the Treadmill Test are cost-effective, widely available, and 
useful for early detection of coronary artery disease in high-risk patients.
