Saudi Med J 2004]. In addition, Saudi Arabia has the highest prevalence of diabetes in the Middle East [Al-Nozha MM et al. Saudi Med J 2004). As a result, the Saudi Coronary Athero-Thrombotic disease study [SAUDICAT] sought to use intravascular ultrasound to define the spectrum of coronary atherothrombotic disease in Saudi nationals with acute coronary syndromes [Lawand S et al.
