Both the Gensini and the COURAGE score fail to predict the high cardiovascular risk of patients with T2DM-SAP. Therefore, these scores should be used with caution in the assessment of future risk of patients with T2DM. However, among T2DM-ACS patients, both scores are increased, reflecting the high cardiovascular risk in this patient population.
