Coronary Atherosclerosis Assessment by Coronary CT Angiography in Asymptomatic Diabetic Population: A Critical Systematic Review of the Literature and Future Perspectives

<div>Dobutamine stress echocardiography in patient affected by diabetes mellitus (DM) with chronic pulmonary obstructive disease (COPD) and poor acoustic window. (a) Apical four-chamber view of left ventricle. (b) The use of ultrasound contrast agent definitively allows an acceptable imaging quality of the endocardial border. (c) 3D heart model is imaged. It represents a chamber quantification using a model-based segmentation algorithm for achieving a more accurate functional assessment.</div>
