Prognostic value of plaque burden assessed by coronary CT angiography in known coronary artery disease
Background
We aimed to investigate in patients with known coronary artery disease (CAD) whether plaque burden assessed by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) can predict subsequent all-cause mortality (ACM).
Methods
Consecutive patients with known CAD who underwent CCTA and coronary artery calcium (CAC) scans for CAD evaluation were enrolled. Known CAD was defined as history of myocardial infarction (MI) or percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Plaque burden was assessed by CAC (categorized as 0–100, 101–300, 301–999, ≥1000), degree of stenosis (DS) (0–24 %, 25–49 %, 50–69 %, and ≥70 %) and segmental involvement score (SIS) (≤2, 3–4, 5–7, and ≥8) on CCTA. Multivariable Cox regression analysis was used to determine the association between plaque burden and ACM.
Results
963 patients were included (age 66.1 ± 11.5, 72.0 % male) of whom 707 had PCI, 586 had MI, and 330 had both. During median follow-up of 3.0 years (interquartile range 1.0–6.5), 91 patients (9.4 %) died. By Kaplan-Meier analysis, higher CAC score was associated with a higher risk of ACM (p < 0.001), but DS and SIS were not. In multivariable Cox regression analysis, CAC scores 301–999 (HR:3.10, 95%CI:1.23–7.80, p = 0.017) and ≥1000 (HR:5.81, 95%CI:2.25–15.04, p < 0.001) along with age, current smoking, and aspirin use were independently associated with increased risk of ACM, but DS and SIS were not.
Conclusion
In patients with known CAD undergoing CCTA, CAC score>300 was an independent predictor of ACM. CAC may provide additional guidance for the intensity of secondary preventive treatments than the degree of residual stenosis or the number of segments with CAD.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography is a unique peer-review journal that integrates the entire international cardiovascular CT community including cardiologist and radiologists, from basic to clinical academic researchers, to private practitioners, engineers, allied professionals, industry, and trainees, all of whom are vital and interdependent members of our cardiovascular imaging community across the world. The goal of the journal is to advance the field of cardiovascular CT as the leading cardiovascular CT journal, attracting seminal work in the field with rapid and timely dissemination in electronic and print media.
