The diagnostic accuracy of non-invasive diagnostic methods for detecting coronary artery disease has increased in recent years. This study aimed to assess the diagnostic performance of O-water positron emission tomography (PET) in terms of stress myocardial blood flow (MBF) and myocardial flow reserve (MFR) in patients with single-vessel disease referred for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), using fractional flow reserve (FFR) value of ≤0.80 as the reference for a significant stenosis. We also assessed the influence of the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) on the diagnostic performance of PET. O-water PET FFR and IMR were measured before PCI in 26 patients with single-vessel disease. Stress MBF < 2.5 ml/min/g (95% confidence interval [CI]) had sensitivity 78% (95% CI: 52%-94%), specificity 50% (95% CI: 16%-84%), positive predictive value (PPV) 78% (95% CI: 63%-88%), negative predictive value (NPV) 50% (95% CI: 25%-75%), and accuracy 69% (95% CI: 48%-86%). MFR < 2.5 had sensitivity 72% (95% CI: 47%-90%), specificity 75% (95% CI: 35%-97%), PPV 87% (95% CI: 65%-96%), NPV 55% (95% CI: 34%-74%), and accuracy 73% (95% CI: 52%-88%). In patients with IMR > 24, stress MBF correlated with FFR (r = 0.651; p = 0.016) whereas stress MBF did not correlate with FFR in patients with IMR < 24. In conclusion, stress MBF and MFR had modest diagnostic performance compared to invasive FFR measurements in patients with single-vessel disease.
近年来,非侵入性诊断方法检测冠状动脉疾病的诊断准确性有所提高。本研究旨在评估 O-水正电子发射断层扫描(PET)在单支血管病变患者经皮冠状动脉介入治疗(PCI)中,以压力心肌血流(MBF)和心肌血流储备(MFR)为指标,以血流储备分数(FFR)值≤0.80 作为有意义狭窄的参考,评估其诊断性能。我们还评估了微血管阻力指数(IMR)对 PET 诊断性能的影响。在 26 例单支血管病变患者中,在 PCI 前测量了 O-水 PET FFR 和 IMR。应激 MBF<2.5ml/min/g(95%置信区间[CI]:52%-94%)的敏感性为 78%(95%CI:52%-94%),特异性为 50%(95%CI:16%-84%),阳性预测值(PPV)为 78%(95%CI:63%-88%),阴性预测值(NPV)为 50%(95%CI:25%-75%),准确性为 69%(95%CI:48%-86%)。MFR<2.5 的敏感性为 72%(95%CI:47%-90%),特异性为 75%(95%CI:35%-97%),PPV 为 87%(95%CI:65%-96%),NPV 为 55%(95%CI:34%-74%),准确性为 73%(95%CI:52%-88%)。在 IMR>24 的患者中,应激 MBF 与 FFR 相关(r=0.651;p=0.016),而在 IMR<24 的患者中,应激 MBF 与 FFR 不相关。结论:在单支血管病变患者中,与有创 FFR 测量相比,应激 MBF 和 MFR 的诊断性能中等。
