摘要
背景:冠状动脉扭曲(CAT)是缺血和非阻塞性冠状动脉(INOCA)患者经常遇到的血管造影特征。然而,关于CAT与这些患者的全因死亡率之间可能存在的相关性的数据有限。目的:探讨CAT对INOCA患者生存预后的影响及全因中期死亡率的预测因素。方法:纳入2014年1月至2020年12月在我科连续就诊并保留射血分数经冠状动脉造影评估为临床缺血的患者。排除心外膜冠状动脉狭窄≥50%、严重肺动脉高压或失代偿性心脏外病变患者。采用Eleid分类对CAT的严重程度进行表征。我们在2023年1月评估了全因死亡率。结果:我们的样本包括328例INOCA患者。15.54%的患者在平均3.75±1.32年的随访中死亡。79.88%有CAT。CAT患者年龄较大(65.10±9.09岁vs . 61.24±10.02岁,p=0.002),且多为女性(67.18% vs . 31.82%)。结论:在我们的INOCA队列中,CAT患者年龄较大,且多为女性。CAT与中期全因死亡率呈负相关。NT-proBNP和DM是CAT患者死亡率的主要独立预测因子。
Coronary artery tortuosity and mid-term all-cause mortality of patients with ischemia and non-obstructive coronary arteries.
Background: Coronary artery tortuosity (CAT) is a frequently encountered angiographic feature of patients with ischemia and non-obstructive coronary arteries (INOCA). However, there is limited data regarding the possible correlation between CAT and all-cause mortality in these patients. Aim: To assess the survival prognostic implications of CAT in INOCA patients and the predictors of all-cause mid-term mortality of these patients. Methods: All consecutive INOCA patients, with preserved ejection fraction evaluated for clinical ischemia by coronary angiography in our department between January 2014 and December 2020 were considered for inclusion. Patients with epicardial coronary artery stenosis ≥ 50%, severe pulmonary hypertension, or decompensated extra cardiac disease were excluded. Eleid classification was used for CAT severity characterization. We assessed all-cause mortality in January 2023. Results: Our sample included 328 INOCA patients. 15.54% died during the mean follow-up of 3.75 ± 1.32 years. 79.88% had CAT. CAT patients were older (65.10±9.09 versus 61.24±10.02 years, p=0.002), and more often female (67.18% versus 31.82%, p<0.001). CAT was inversely correlated with all-cause mid-term mortality (OR 0.35, 95%CI 0.16 - 0.77, p=0.01). CAT severity had no impact on survival. In CAT patients the initial multivariable analysis identified NT-proBNP levels (HR 3.96, p=0.01), diabetes mellitus (DM) (HR 4.76, p=0.003), and atrial fibrillation (HR 2.68, p=0.06) as independent predictors of all-cause mortality. In the final analysis, NT-proBNP and DM were the main independent predictors of survival. Conclusions : In our INOCA cohort, CAT patients were older and more likely female. CAT was inversely correlated with mid-term all-cause mortality. NT-proBNP and DM were the main independent predictors of mortality of CAT patients.
