The Acute Coronary Syndrome Risk in Medically Managed Subjects with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus - Is the ASCVD Risk Score Failing Here?

The ASCVD risk score underestimates the ACS risk in subjects with T2DM under medical supervision and may not differ in those who developed and did not develop ACS. We also conclude that factors like a negative family history (30% less risk), longer duration of diabetes, and higher SBP are relevant in those who developed ACS.
