The incidence of type 2 diabetes is rapidly increasing throughout the world. As an independent risk factor for cardiovascular disease both at the microvascular and macrovascular level, diabetes is a condition that deserves the most aggressive medical management. The effectiveness of risk factor modification and glycaemic control on retarding atherosclerosis progression has been assessed by several invasive and non-invasive imaging methods that will be reviewed in this article.

Key Words: cardiovascular disease • diabetes • invasive imaging • non-invasive imaging.
