Coronary computed tomographic angiography (CTA) and myocardial perfusion imaging (CTP) is a validated approach for detection and exclusion of flow-limiting coronary artery disease (CAD), but little data are available on gender-specific performance of these modalities. In this study, we aimed to evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of combined coronary CTA and CTP in detecting flow-limiting CAD in women compared with men.
Three hundred and eighty-one patients who underwent both CTA-CTP and single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging preceding invasive coronary angiography as part of the CORE320 multicenter study (Coronary Artery Evaluation Using 320-row Multidetector Computed Tomography Angiography and Myocardial Perfusion) were included in this ancillary study. All 4 image modalities were analyzed in blinded, independent core laboratories. Prevalence of flow-limiting CAD defined by invasive coronary angiography equal to 50% or greater with an associated single-photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging defect was 45% (114/252) and 23% (30/129) in males and females, respectively. Patient-based diagnostic accuracy defined by the area under the receiver operating curve for detecting flow-limiting CAD by CTA alone in females was 0.83 (0.75-0.89) and for CTA-CTP was 0.92 (0.86-0.97; P=0.003) compared with men where the area under the receiver operating curve for detecting flow-limiting CAD by CTA alone was 0.82 (0.77-0.87) and for CTA-CTP was 0.84 (0.80-0.89; P=0.29).
The combination of CTA-CTP was performed similarly in men and women for identifying flow-limiting coronary stenosis; however, in women, CTP had incremental value over CTA alone, which was not the case in men.

冠状动脉计算机断层血管造影(CTA)和心肌灌注成像(CTP)是检测和排除血流限制性冠状动脉疾病(CAD)的一种有效方法,但关于这些检查方法在不同性别中的表现的数据较少。在本研究中,我们旨在评估联合冠状动脉CTA和CTP检测女性与男性血流限制性CAD的诊断准确性。
作为CORE320多中心研究(使用320排多层螺旋CT血管造影和心肌灌注评估冠状动脉)的一部分,381例在有创冠状动脉造影之前接受了CTA-CTP和单光子发射计算机断层心肌灌注成像的患者被纳入这项辅助研究。所有4种影像检查方法均在盲法、独立的核心实验室进行分析。根据有创冠状动脉造影定义的血流限制性CAD患病率,即狭窄等于或大于50%且伴有单光子发射计算机断层心肌灌注成像缺损,男性为45%(114/252),女性为23%(30/129)。以患者为基础的诊断准确性,通过女性单独使用CTA检测血流限制性CAD的受试者操作特征曲线下面积为0.83(0.75-0.89),CTA-CTP为0.92(0.86-0.97;P=0.003),而男性单独使用CTA检测血流限制性CAD的受试者操作特征曲线下面积为0.82(0.77-0.87),CTA-CTP为0.84(0.80-0.89;P=0.29)。
CTA-CTP联合检查在识别男性和女性血流限制性冠状动脉狭窄方面表现相似;然而,在女性中,CTP相对于单独使用CTA具有增量价值,而在男性中并非如此。
