About this study

Official title: Role of Cardiac CT in Risk Factor Control in Asymptomatic Patients With Diabetes

This study looked at the role of cardiac CT in improving risk factor control in those with diabetes.

Read the detailed description

This study examined whether doing a cardiac screening test, the cardiac CT, would result in patients paying more attention to controlling their risk factors.

Being tested
Cardiac CT, Usual medical care
Medical subject headings
Diabetes Mellitus, Metabolic Syndrome

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Cardiac CTDiagnostic test

    A cardiac CT involves a non-invasive test of the coronary arteries.

  • Usual medical careBehavioural

    Also called Usual medical care would include control of blood pressure, blood glucose, and cholesterol by the primary care physician.

    Patients would be treated by their primary care physicians with usual medical care with drugs such as lipid lowering medication, blood pressure lowering medications, and blood glucose lowering medications. The study will not specify which drugs to use and will it up to the individual physician's discretion.

Usual CareActive comparatorPatients randomized to usual care will be assigned to continuing usual medical care with their primary care physician
Receives: Behavioral: Usual medical care

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Systolic BP Pressure

    After randomization to either obtain cardiac CT or usual care, patients will be followed for 5 years (with assessment of outcomes at every 6 months) to see any difference in control of systolic blood pressure. The outcome with be assessed as a continuous measure.

    Measured: Five year follow up
