Name of journal: European heart journal. Cardiovascular ImagingAbstract: AIMS : Diabetes mellitus (DM) is associated with increased cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. The multicentre, prospective Lipid-Rich Plaque trial (LRP) examined non-culprit (NC) non-obstructive coronary segments with a combined near-infrared spectroscopy (NIRS)-intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) catheter. This study assessed the differences in NC plaque characteristics and their influence on major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in diabetic and non-diabetic patients.CONCLUSION : Cholesterol-rich NC plaques detected by NIRS-IVUS were significantly more frequent in diabetic patients, especially those who were insulin-treated, and were associated with an increased NC-MACE during follow-up.

The association between presence and type of DM and NC-MACE was assessed at both the patient and coronary segment levels by Cox proportional regression modelling. Out of 1552 patients enrolled, 1266 who had their diabetes status recorded were followed through 24 months. Female sex, hypertension, chronic kidney disease, peripheral vascular disease, and high body mass index were significantly more frequent in diabetic patients. The ITDM group had more diseased vessels, at least one NC segment with a maxLCBI4 mm >=400 in 46.2% of patients, and maxLCBI4 mm >=400 in nearly one out of six Ware segments (15.2%, 125/824 segments). The average maxLCBI4 mm significantly increased from non-diabetic patients (NoDM) to non-insulin-treated diabetic patients (non-ITDM) to insulin-treated diabetic patients (ITDM; 137.7 +/- 161.9, 154.8 +/- 173.6, 182.9 +/- 193.2, P < 0.001, respectively). In patients assigned to follow-up (692 +/- 129 days), ITDM doubled the incidence of NC-MACE compared with the absence of diabetes (15.7% vs. 6.9%, P = 0.0008).
