Abstract Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) increases coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. In this study, we used T2DM clinical variables to predict abnormality in thallium-201 myocardial perfusion scans (Th-201 scans). These clinical variables were summed stress score (SSS), summed rest score, and summed difference score (SDS), with data obtained from 368 male and 428 female participants with T2DM. Multiple linear regression results were as follows. In male participants, body mass index (BMI) and creatinine (Cr) were associated with SSS (β = 0.224, p
