This study aimed to determine whether a peripheral artery volume (PAV) test can improve the predictive value of the age-adjusted Framingham risk score (AFRS) for coronary artery disease (CAD) in symptomatic patients.
A total of 317 consecutive patients who were referred for coronary angiography were prospectively enrolled. Before cardiac catheterization, a PAV test was performed to measure changes in pulsatile blood flow volume following reactive hyperemia.
PAV was significantly lower in patients with CAD than in those without CAD (1.21 ± 0.32 vs. 1.50 ± 0.45). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that PAV and the AFRS were independent predictors of CAD. Pairwise comparison of receiver operating characteristic curves showed that the predictive power for CAD increased when PAV was incorporated into the AFRS (area under the curve: from 0.76 to 0.80). The net reclassification index was also improved when PAV was added to the AFRS (0.65, 95% confidence interval: 0.44-0.85).
Digital endothelial function measurement is an independent predictor of CAD. PAV is potentially useful for identifying patients at high risk for CAD.
本研究旨在确定外周动脉容积(PAV)检测能否提高症状性患者中年龄校正的弗明汉姆风险评分(AFRS)对冠状动脉疾病(CAD)的预测价值。
前瞻性纳入了317例连续接受冠状动脉造影的患者。在心脏导管插入术前,进行PAV检测以测量反应性充血后搏动血流容积的变化。
CAD患者的PAV显著低于无CAD患者(1.21±0.32 vs. 1.50±0.45)。多因素逻辑回归分析显示,PAV和AFRS是CAD的独立预测因素。对受试者工作特征曲线的两两比较显示,将PAV纳入AFRS时,对CAD的预测能力增强(曲线下面积:从0.76增至0.80)。将PAV添加到AFRS时,净重新分类指数也有所改善(0.65,95%置信区间:0.44 - 0.85)。
数字内皮功能测量是CAD的独立预测因素。PAV可能有助于识别CAD高危患者。
