Objective To discuss the characteristics of coronary artery disease in patients with type 2 diabetes using coronary angiography of Dual Source CT. Methods We collected the clinical data of patients who underwent coronary angiography of Dual Source CT between December 2010 and November 2012 in Sichuan Provincial People's Hospital and Sichuan Orthopedic Hospital. A total of 302 patients (74 with type 2 diabetes, and 228 with no diabetes) were examined with CT coronary angiography. All images were comprehensively assessed. Types of plaques and luminal narrowing were evaluated. Results Patients with type 2 diabetes had more plaques (P<0.05), especially mixed plaques and non-calcified plaques, than non-diabetic patients (P<0.05). The proportions of calcified plaque, mixed plaques, non-calcified plaque in patients with type 2 diabetes were 29.1%, 41.1%, 29.8%, respectively. The proportions of calcified plaque, mixed plaques, non-calcified plaque in patients with nondiabetic patients were 39.7%, 36.0%, 24.3%, respectively. The difference of the composition between diabetes and nondiabetic was significant (P<0.05). There were more mild, moderate and severe narrowing in type 2 diabetic patients than those in non-diabetic patients (P<0.05). Conclusion Coronary angiography of CT depicts a high plaque burden in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (mixed plaque is the most common type), which may cause stenosis easily.
