In a cardiac CT study of 104 adults with type 2 diabetes and no prior coronary revascularization, higher SCORE2‑Diabetes (SCORE2‑D) values were strongly associated with the presence of coronary plaques, greater plaque burden, and more severe stenoses. Patients in the high/very‑high SCORE2‑D categories showed a predominance of non‑calcified, lipid‑rich and mixed plaques in proximal segments—particularly the left anterior descending artery—features typically linked to higher vulnerability and event risk. As SCORE2‑D category increased, referrals to invasive coronary angiography also rose, suggesting this model may meaningfully refine risk stratification and help identify which seemingly “stable” T2D patients warrant more intensive imaging and preventive strategies.
