To examine whether prevalences of asymptomatic ischemic heart diseases in type II diabetic patients are correlated with the degree of diabetic nephropathy, 201TI scintigraphies with dipyridamole loading were performed in 28 type II diabetic patients without any chest discomforts. Positive findings of ischemic changes were found in 5 (28%) of 18 patients with normoalbuminuria (urinary albumin excretion rate, AER less than 20 micrograms/min) and 5 (50%) of 10 patients with micro- or macroalbuminuria (AER greater than 20 micrograms/min). Coronary angiography (CAG) was performed in 6 of 10 patients with positive findings of 201TI scintigraphy. No stenotic findings were found in any patients, but wall motion was decreased in some patients and pulmonary artery pressure was increased in one patient. As stenosis of arteries with diameter of more than 0.3 mm can be detected by CAG, it seems likely that microangiopathy may play some role in the pathogenesis of asymptomatic ischemic heart disease detected with 201TI scintigraphy.

D008875 Middle Aged An adult aged 45 - 64 years. Middle Age
D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D003327 Coronary Disease An imbalance between myocardial functional requirements and the capacity of the CORONARY VESSELS to supply sufficient blood flow. It is a form of MYOCARDIAL ISCHEMIA (insufficient blood supply to the heart muscle) caused by a decreased capacity of the coronary vessels.

D003924 Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 A subclass of DIABETES MELLITUS that is not INSULIN-responsive or dependent (NIDDM). It is characterized initially by INSULIN RESISTANCE and HYPERINSULINEMIA; and eventually by GLUCOSE INTOLERANCE; HYPERGLYCEMIA; and overt diabetes. Type II diabetes mellitus is no longer considered a disease exclusively found in adults. Patients seldom develop KETOSIS but often exhibit OBESITY.

D003928 Diabetic Nephropathies KIDNEY injuries associated with diabetes mellitus and affecting KIDNEY GLOMERULUS; ARTERIOLES; KIDNEY TUBULES; and the interstitium. Clinical signs include persistent PROTEINURIA, from microalbuminuria progressing to ALBUMINURIA of greater than 300 mg/24 h, leading to reduced GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE and END-STAGE RENAL DISEASE.
