Coronary Composition and Macrophage Infiltration in Atherectomy Specimens From Patients With Diabetes Mellitus
Open accessAbstract
Background —Lipid-rich, inflamed atherosclerotic lesions are associated with plaque rupture and thrombosis, which are the most important causes of death in patients with diabetes mellitus. This study was designed to quantify lipid composition and macrophage infiltration in the coronary lesions of patients with diabetes mellitus. Methods and Results —A total of 47 coronary atherectomy specimens from patients with diabetes mellitus were examined and compared with 48 atherectomy specimens from patients without diabetes. Plaque composition was characterized by trichrome staining. Macrophage infiltration was characterized by immunostaining. Clinical and demographic data were similar in both groups. The percentage of total area occupied by lipid-rich atheroma was larger in specimens from patients with diabetes (7±2%) than in specimens from patients without diabetes (2±1%; P =0.01), and the percentage of total area occupied by macrophages was larger in specimens from patients with diabetes (22±3%) than in specimens from patients without diabetes (12±1%; P =0.003). The incidence of thrombus was also higher in specimens from patients with diabetes than in specimens from patients without diabetes (62% versus 40%; P =0.04). Plaque composition, macrophage infiltration, and thrombus were similar in lesions from diabetic patients treated with insulin compared with lesions from patients treated with sulfonylureas or diet. Conclusions —Coronary tissue from patients with diabetes exhibits a larger content of lipid-rich atheroma, macrophage infiltration, and subsequent thrombosis than tissue from patients without diabetes. These differences suggest an increased vulnerability for coronary thrombosis in patients with diabetes mellitus.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
