Abstract

Purpose

We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis of published studies evaluating the value of myocardial flow reserve (MFR) assessed by positron emission tomography (PET) imaging in predicting adverse cardiovascular events in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD).

Material and methods

Studies published until December 2024 were identified by database search. We included studies evaluating MFR by PET imaging with data on adjusted hazard ratio (HR) for the occurrence of adverse cardiovascular events.

Results

We identified 8 eligible articles including 12.087 patients with a mean follow-up of 2.98 ± 0.69 years. The pooled HR for the occurrence of events was 2.19 (95 % CI 1.80–2.68) and no heterogeneity was observed. The pooled incidence rate ratio (IRR) was 3.26 (95 % CI 2.43–4.37) and the heterogeneity was 37.7 %. At meta-regression analysis no significant association was found between HR for adverse events and demographic and clinical variables considered.

Conclusion

MFR assessed by PET imaging is a valuable noninvasive prognostic indicator in the evaluation of patients with suspected CAD.

期刊介绍： IJC Heart & Vasculature is an online-only, open-access journal dedicated to publishing original articles and reviews (also Editorials and Letters to the Editor) which report on structural and functional cardiovascular pathology, with an emphasis on imaging and disease pathophysiology. Articles must be authentic, educational, clinically relevant, and original in their content and scientific approach. IJC Heart & Vasculature requires the highest standards of scientific integrity in order to promote reliable, reproducible and verifiable research findings. All authors are advised to consult the Principles of Ethical Publishing in the International Journal of Cardiology before submitting a manuscript. Submission of a manuscript to this journal gives the publisher the right to publish that paper if it is accepted. Manuscripts may be edited to improve clarity and expression.
