Abstract

OBJECTIVES This study aimed to determine the rate and extent of plaque progression (PP), changes in plaque features, and clinical predictors of PP in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM).BACKGROUND The natural history of coronary PP in patients with DM is not well established.METHODS A total of 1,602 patients (age 61.3 +/- 9.0 years; 60.3% men; median scan interval 3.8 years) who underwent serial coronary computed tomography angiography over a period of at least 24 months were enrolled and analyzed from the PARADIGM (Progression of Atherosclerotic Plaque Determined by Computed Tomographic Angiography Imaging) trial. Study endpoints were changes in plaque features in diabetics with PP and risk factors for PP by serial coronary computed tomography angiography between patients with and without DM. PP was defined if plaque volume at followup minus plaque volume at baseline was >0.RESULTS DM was an independent risk factor for PP (84.6%; 276 of 326 patients with PP) in multivariate analysis (odds ratio [OR]: 1.526; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.100 to 2.118; p = 0.011). Independent risk factors for PP in patients with DM were male sex (OR:1.485; 95% CI: 1.003 to 2.199; p = 0.048) and mean plaque burden at baseline >= 75% (OR: 3.121; 95% CI: 1.701 to 5.725; p <= 0.001).
