Differences in Atherosclerotic Plaque Burden and Morphology Between Type 1 and 2 Diabetes as Assessed by Multislice Computed Tomography
OBJECTIVE It is unclear whether the coronary atherosclerotic plaque burden is similar in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes. By using multislice computed tomography (MSCT), the presence, degree, and morphology of coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes were compared. RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODS Prospectively, coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring and MSCT...
متن کاملType 2 diabetes is associated with more advanced coronary atherosclerosis on multislice computed tomography and virtual histology intravascular ultrasound.
BACKGROUND Data on coronary plaque observations on multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) in patients with type 2 diabetes are scarce. METHODS AND RESULTS In total, 60 patients (19 with diabetes) underwent 64-slice MSCT, followed by conventional coronary angiography with intravascular ultrasound (IVUS). Non-invasively, the extent of coronary atherosclerosis and 3 plaque types (non-calcified, ...
متن کاملComment on "Coronary artery calcium in type 2 diabetes: a nested case-control study": authors' reply.
132 To the Editor The coronary artery calcium score (CACS) emerges as a useful marker of coronary ar‐ tery atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk.1,2 Cor‐ onary calcifications are related to coronary artery plaque burden but not to plaque instability and cannot be used to exclude coronary atherosclero‐ sis. The measurement of the CACS may play an im‐ portant role in the reclassification of sub...
متن کاملBrachial-ankle Pulse Wave Velocity and Renal Function can Predict Coronary Artery Disease in Asymptomatic Japanese Patients with Type 2 Diabetes
availability of the 64-slice CT scanner. The latest generation of CT scanners can provide exquisite imaging of cardiac structures, coronary plaque morphology data, and details of atherosclerotic lesions, quickly and with minimal patient discomfort or risk. A recent Japanese observational study demonstrated that serum triglyceride level was a leading predictor of Coronary Heart Disease (CHD), co...
متن کاملNonalcoholic Fatty Liver Disease Is Associated with the Presence and Morphology of Subclinical Coronary Atherosclerosis
PURPOSE In this study, we aimed to evaluate whether nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) was associated with the presence and morphology of coronary atherosclerotic plaques shown by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) in asymptomatic subjects without a history of cardiovascular disease. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively enrolled 772 consecutive South Korean individuals who had...
