Core Tip	Even after adjusting for potential confounding factors, diabetic foot (DF) remains associated with significantly higher coronary plaque burden and an increased prevalence of high-risk plaque, as found in this retrospective coronary computed tomography angiography study. These findings provide additional information regarding coronary plaque burden and vulnerability in clinically referred patients with type 2 diabetes and DF.
