Intravascular imaging has shown a reduction of lipidic plaque materials with an increased amount of plaque calcification with achieving lower low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C), which partly results in a reduction of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risks. Despite this beneficial effect, patients with type2 diabetes still exhibit continuing cardiovascular risks, accompanied by their vulnerable forms of atherosclerotic disease. These diabetes-related clinical features suggest the need for more intensive antiatherosclerotic therapies. Recent guidelines advocate LDLC< 55 mg/dL as a therapeutic goal in subjects with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. 1 However, whether this stricter LDL-C control is beneficial for diabetic atherosclerosis remains uncertain. Therefore, we investigated lipidic and calcific plaque features on near-infrared spectroscopy(NIRS) imaging in diabetic and nondiabetic subjects in association with LDL-C< 55 mg/dL. This study analyzed 557 lesions in 523 subjects (246 diabetic patients [264 lesions], 277 nondiabetic patients [293 lesions]) from the REASSURE-NIRS (REvelation of PAthophySiological PhenotypeS of VUlneRable Lipid-Rich PlaquE on Near-InfraRed Spectroscopy) multicenter registry (NCT04864171). This study was approved by the institutional review board of the National Cerebral and Cardiovascular Center (M30-084-4) and the Miyazaki Medical Association Hospital (2020-43). Maximum 4-mm lipidcore burden index (maxLCBI4mm) and calcium index (CaI) at target lesions were evaluated. Every 1-mm cross-sectional calcium grade was analyzed according to the degree of acoustic shadowing (0 ¼ no calcium, 1 ¼ calcification arc< 90, 2 ¼ calcification arc 90-180, 3 ¼ calcification arc 180-270, and 4 ¼ calcification arc $270). CaI was calculated as follows 2:
