Aims: Postmortem series have reported that subjects with diabetes mellitus have coronary plaques with larger necrotic cores and increased macrophage infiltration. Optical coherence tomography (OCT) is a high-resolution imaging modality that allows in vivo characterization of atherosclerotic plaques. Using OCT imaging, we compared in vivo plaque characteristics between diabetic and non-diabetic subjects. Methods: Sixty-three patients undergoing cardiac catheterization were enrolled. OCT imaging was performed in culprit coronary arteries. Assessment of plaque lipid content, fibrous cap thickness and frequency of thin-cap fibroatheroma were made independently. Macrophage density was determined from the optical signal within fibrous cap. Results: Eighty-two plaques in total were imaged (19 diabetic us. 63 non-diabetic). There were no significant differences in frequency of lipid-rich plaques (68% us. 71%; P = 0.78), thin-cap fibroatheroma (29% vs. 36%; P = 0.76) or minimum fibrous cap thickness (66.6 mu m vs. 62.9 mu m; P = 0.87) between diabetic and non-diabetic patients. Fibrous cap macrophage density was higher in lipid-rich plaques (P = 0.01) but showed no difference between diabetic and non-diabetic patients (5.94% vs. 5.94%; P = 0.37). Conclusions: There were no significant differences in culprit vessel plaque characteristics between diabetic and non-diabetic patients presenting with coronary artery disease. This represents the first study to characterize coronary plaques in diabetic patients using OCT. (C) 2008 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.
