Prior studies with single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) have shown a survival benefit with early revascularization in patients with >10% to 12.5% ischemic myocardium. The relationship among positron emission tomography (PET)-derived extent of ischemia, early revascularization, and survival is unknown.
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the association among percent ischemia on PET MPI, revascularization, and survival.
A total of 16,029 unique consecutive patients who were undergoing Rubidium-82 rest-stress PET MPI from 2010 to 2016 were included. Patients with known cardiomyopathy and nondiagnostic perfusion results were excluded. Percent ischemic myocardium was estimated from a 17-segment model. Propensity scoring was used to account for nonrandomized referral to early revascularization (90 days of PET). A Cox model was developed, adjusting for propensity scores for early revascularization and percent ischemia, and an interaction between ischemia and early revascularization was tested.
Median follow-up was 3.7 years. Overall, 1,277 (8%) patients underwent early revascularization and 2,493 (15.6%) died (738 cardiac). Nearly 37% of patients (n = 5,902) had ischemia, with 13.5% (n = 2,160) having ≥10%. In propensity-adjusted analyses, there was a significant interaction between ischemia and early revascularization (p < 0.001 for all-cause and cardiac death), such that patients with greater ischemia had improved survival with early revascularization, with a potential ischemia threshold at 5% (upper limit 95% confidence interval at 10%). There was no differential association between ischemia and early revascularization on death based on history of known coronary artery disease (interaction p = 0.72).
In a contemporary cohort of patients undergoing PET MPI, patients with greater ischemia had a survival benefit from early revascularization. On exploratory analyses, this threshold was lower than that previously reported for SPECT. These findings require future validation in prospective cohorts or trials.
先前使用单光子发射计算机断层扫描(SPECT)心肌灌注成像(MPI)的研究表明,对于缺血心肌>10%至 12.5%的患者,早期血运重建具有生存获益。但是,正电子发射断层扫描(PET)检测到的缺血范围、早期血运重建和生存之间的关系尚不清楚。
本研究旨在评估 PET MPI 心肌缺血程度、血运重建与生存之间的关系。
共纳入 2010 年至 2016 年间行放射性铷-82 静息-负荷 PET MPI 的 16029 例患者。排除已知有心肌病和不可诊断的灌注结果的患者。通过 17 节段模型来估计缺血心肌的百分比。采用倾向评分法来解释早期血运重建(PET 后 90 天)的非随机转诊。开发 Cox 模型,校正早期血运重建和缺血百分比的倾向评分,并检验缺血和早期血运重建之间的交互作用。
中位随访时间为 3.7 年。总体而言,1277 例(8%)患者进行了早期血运重建,2493 例(15.6%)死亡(738 例为心源性)。将近 37%的患者(n=5902)有缺血,其中 13.5%(n=2160)有≥10%的缺血。在经过倾向评分校正的分析中,缺血和早期血运重建之间存在显著的交互作用(所有原因和心源性死亡的 p 值均<0.001),即缺血程度较高的患者进行早期血运重建可提高生存率,且存在 5%(上限为 95%置信区间为 10%)的潜在缺血阈值。在基于已知冠状动脉疾病史的死亡方面,缺血和早期血运重建之间的关联没有差异(交互作用 p=0.72)。
在接受 PET MPI 的当代患者队列中,缺血程度较高的患者从早期血运重建中获益。通过探索性分析,该阈值低于之前 SPECT 报道的阈值。这些发现需要在未来的前瞻性队列或试验中进行验证。
