CT-derived fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) is a non-invasive imaging post-processing technique that utilizes artificial intelligence to analyze data obtained from conventional coronary CT angiography (CCTA). FFR-CT technology offers the hemodynamic assessment of coronary lesions, aiding in the prediction of potential cardiovascular risks. This review summarizes the latest research progress on the complex relationship between FFR-CT, plaque characteristics, and hemodynamics, closely linking plaque volume, composition, and distribution with the clinical significance of coronary artery stenosis. It is hoped that these research findings will provide valuable guidance for clinicians, promoting the application of CT in the non-invasive detection of vulnerable plaques, thereby more effectively preventing and managing coronary artery disease. In the future, further optimization of FFR-CT technology and expansion of its clinical application are expected to significantly reduce the incidence and mortality of coronary artery disease, offering new hope for the prevention and treatment of cardiovascular diseases.</p>","PeriodicalId":94071,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cardiovascular computed tomography","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-09-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142304924","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study evaluates whether these disparities translate to coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan utilization. Specifically, we aim to describe regional variation and socioeconomic variables that impact CAC utilization across the United States relative to the prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) and related comorbidities.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>This cross-sectional study integrates county-level CAC utilization with CAD prevalence and publicly available socioeconomic variables including self-identified ethnicity, education, and adjusted gross income. CAC utilization rates were sourced from 2022 hospital commercial claims, outpatient Medicare service claims, and independent imaging center claims. Heart disease prevalence and socioeconomic variables were extracted from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Center for Chronic Disease Prevention and Health Promotion. Adjusted gross income per capita was gathered from Internal Revenue Service data.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>CAC utilization was evaluated across 808 counties within the United States, representing 600,379 claims. Median utilization was 1.62 scans per 1,000 persons with a range of 0.03 to 104.39. The West had the highest CAC scan utilization rate (median 3.09 scans per 1,000 persons) with a CAD prevalence of 548 per 100,000 persons. In contrast, the Midwest had the lowest utilization rate (median 1.24 scans per 1,000 persons) with a CAD prevalence of 635 per 100,000 persons. Socioeconomic factors that favor higher CAC utilization include a larger density of White/Caucasian ethnicity (p = 0.007) and a higher adjusted gross income per capita (p = 0.006). Counties with the lowest rates of CAC utilization have a higher population of African Americans (p <0.001) and a higher proportion of females (p <0.001).</p><p><strong>Conclusion: </strong>This analysis highlights regional and socioeconomic differences in CAC utilization in the United States. Under-represented ethnicities such as African Americans have among the lowest rates of CAC utilization despite having a higher burden and mortality from heart disease. Discordance between CAC utilization, heart disease prevalence and socioeconomic status reveals a need for targeted interventions and policies aimed at mitigating structural barriers that perpetuate health inequities.</p>","PeriodicalId":94071,"journal":{"name":"Journal of cardiovascular computed tomography","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2024-08-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141997128","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
