Résumé
To evaluate the prevalence of intra-myocardial fatty scars (IMFS) most likely indicating previous silent myocardial infarction (SMI), as detected on coronary artery calcium (CAC) computed tomography (CT) scans in diabetic patients without history of coronary heart disease (CHD). Diabetic patients screened for silent coronary insufficiency in a tertiary-care, university hospital between Jan-2015 and Dec-2016 were categorized according to their CAC score in two groups comprising 242 patients with CACS = 0 and 145 patients with CACS ≥ 300. CAC-CT scans were retrospectively evaluated for subendorcardial and transmural IMFS of the left ventricle. Adipose remodeling, patients' characteristics, cardiovascular risk factors and metabolic profile were compared between groups. Eighty-three (21%) patients with IMFS were identified, 55 (37.9%) in the group CACS ≥ 300 and 28 (11.6%) in the CACS = 0 (OR = 4.67; 95% CI = 2.78-7.84; p < 0.001). Total and average surface of IMFS and their number per patient were similar in both groups (p = 0.55; p = 0.29; p = 0.61, respectively). In the group CACS ≥ 300, patients with IMFS were older (p = 0.03) and had longer-lasting diabetes (p = 0.04). Patients with IMFS were older and had longer history of diabetes, reduced glomerular filtration rate, more coronary calcifications (all p < 0.05), and higher prevalence of carotid plaques (OR = 3.03; 95% CI = 1.43-6.39, p = 0.004). After correction for other variables, only a CACS ≥ 300 (OR = 5.12; 95% CI = 2.66-9.85; p < 0.001) was associated with an increased risk of having IMFS. In diabetic patients without known CHD, IMFSs were found in patients without coronary calcifications, although not as frequently as in patients with heavily calcified coronary arteries. It remains to be established if this marker translates in an upwards cardiovascular risk restratification especially in diabetic patients with CACS = 0. In diabetic patients without history of coronary heart disease, intramyocardial fatty scars, presumably of post-infarction origin, can be detected on coronary artery calcium CT scans more frequently, but not exclusively, if the coronary arteries are heavily calcified as compared to those without calcifications. • Intramyocardial fatty scars (IMFS), presumably of post-infarction origin, can be detected on coronary artery calcium (CAC) CT scans more frequently, but not exclusively, in diabetic patients with CACS ≥ 300 as compared to patients CACS = 0. • Patients with IMFS were older and had longer history of diabetes, reduced glomerular filtration rate, and more coronary calcifications. • Carotid plaques and CACS ≥ 300 were associated with an increased risk of having IMFS, about three and five folds respectively.
