Case report observes coronary artery calcification in a male with Type 1 Diabetes on a Ketogenic Diet for over ten years, suggesting implications for atherosclerotic plaque progression.
Key Points
Absence of detectable coronary artery calcification was found in the male participant, suggesting favorable cardiovascular outcomes.
The participant achieved euglycemia with an HbA1c level of 5.5%, highlighting the effectiveness of ketogenic diet for glycemic control.
High-resolution computed tomography was utilized to evaluate coronary arteries; findings indicate no atherosclerotic plaque formation.
These results underline the potential cardiovascular benefits of sustained ketogenic dietary practices in Type 1 Diabetes.
