Abstract
Objective
To investigate the incremental value of coronary flow reserve (CFR) assessed by cadmium zinc telluride(CZT)-SPECT as an adjunct to myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD).
Methods
Data of 132 patients (89 males, 43 females; 40-81 years) with or suspected with CAD who successfully underwent rest and stress MPI and CFR from November 2017 to October 2018 in Zhongshan Hospital Affiliated to Fudan University were retrospectively analyzed. Based on coronary angiography (CAG) as the " gold standard" , the value of MPI and MPI+ CFR in the diagnosis of CAD was evaluated and compared. χ2 test or Fisher exact probability test was used for data analysis.
Results
Of 132 patients, 61 (46.2%) were CAD with stenosis of at least 75% in one vessel (47.5%, 29/61), two vessels (34.4%, 21/61), or three vessels (18.0%, 11/61). A total of 104 (26.3%) vessels with stenosis of at least 75%, 25 (6.3%) vessels with stenosis of 65%-74%, and 30 (7.6%) vessels with stenosis of 50%-64% were found in 396 vessels. For detecting coronary stenosis of at least 75%, the sensitivity and accuracy of MPI on per-patient analysis were 86.89%(53/61) and 68.94%(91/132), which increased to 96.72%(59/61; χ2=3.921, P<0.05) and 87.88%(116/132; χ2=13.984, P<0.01) by MPI+ CFR. On per-vessel analysis, the sensitivity and accuracy of MPI were 72.12%(75/104) and 77.53%(307/396) and increased to 96.15%(100/104; χ2=22.511, P<0.01) and 85.10%(337/396; χ2=7.479, P<0.05) by MPI+ CFR. The sensitivity of MPI for predicting one, two, and three vessels disease were 72.41%(21/29), 42.86%(9/21), and 5/11 and were improved to 93.10%(27/29; χ2=4.350, P=0.037), 90.48%(19/21; χ2=10.714, P=0.001), and 11/11 (P=0.012) by MPI+ CFR. For coronary with stenosis of 65%-74%, the sensitivity of MPI was 24.00%(6/25) and was improved to 64.00%(16/25; χ2=8.117, P=0.004) by MPI+ CFR. For coronary with stenosis of 50%-64%, the sensitivity of MPI was 40.00%(12/30) and was improved to 76.67%(23/30; χ2=8.297, P=0.004) by MPI+ CFR.
Conclusion
As an adjunct to MPI, CFR can significantly improve the sensitivity and accuracy in the diagnosis of CAD, particularly for patients with mild stenosis and multivessel CAD.

Chinese Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging (CJNMMI) was established in 1981, with the name of Chinese Journal of Nuclear Medicine, and renamed in 2012. As the specialized periodical in the domain of nuclear medicine in China, the aim of Chinese Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging is to develop nuclear medicine sciences, push forward nuclear medicine education and basic construction, foster qualified personnel training and academic exchanges, and popularize related knowledge and raising public awareness.
Topics of interest for Chinese Journal of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging include:
-Research and commentary on nuclear medicine and molecular imaging with significant implications for disease diagnosis and treatment
-Investigative studies of heart, brain imaging and tumor positioning
-Perspectives and reviews on research topics that discuss the implications of findings from the basic science and clinical practice of nuclear medicine and molecular imaging
- Nuclear medicine education and personnel training
- Topics of interest for nuclear medicine and molecular imaging include subject coverage diseases such as cardiovascular diseases, cancer, Alzheimer’s disease, and Parkinson’s disease, and also radionuclide therapy, radiomics, molecular probes and related translational research.
