PG - e27937 LID - 10.1016/j.heliyon.2024.e27937 [doi] LID - e27937 AB - BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) patients often presents diffuse lesions, with extensive calcification, and it is time-consuming to measure coronary artery calcium score (CACS). OBJECTIVES: To explore the predictive ability of deep learning (DL)-based CACS for obstructive CAD and hemodynamically significant CAD in T2DM. METHODS: 469 T2DM patients suspected of CAD who accepted CACS scan and coronary CT angiography between January 2013 and December 2020 were enrolled. Obstructive CAD was defined as diameter stenosis >/=50%. Hemodynamically significant CAD was defined as CT-derived fractional flow reserve
