Fig. 3From: Relationships of coronary culprit-plaque characteristics with duration of diabetes mellitus in acute myocardial infarction: an intravascular optical coherence tomography studyBar graphs of optical coherence tomography findings of coronary plaques between groups. Comparisons of the incidence of plaque rupture, lipid-rich plaques, and thin-cap fibroatheroma showed significant differences between patients in the Non-DM, Short-DM (< 10 years duration of disease), and Long-DM (≥ 10 years duration of disease) groups.
