Background The long-term impact of newly discovered, asymptomatic abnormal ankle-brachial index (ABI) in patients with significant coronary artery disease is limited. Methods and Results Between January 2006 and December 2009, ABI was evaluated in 2424 consecutive patients with no history of claudication or peripheral artery disease who had significant coronary artery disease. We previously reported a 3-year result; therefore, the follow-up period was extended. The primary end point was a composite of all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI), and stroke over 7 years. Of the 2424 patients with significant coronary artery disease, 385 had an abnormal ABI (ABI ≤0.9 or ≥1.4). During the follow-up period, the rate of the primary outcome was significantly higher in the abnormal ABI group than in the normal ABI group (<0.001). The abnormal ABI group had a significantly higher risk of composite of all-cause death/MI/stroke than the normal ABI group, after adjustment with multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression analysis (hazard ratio [HR], 2.07; 95% CI, 1.67-2.57; <0.001) and propensity score-matched analysis (HR, 1.97; 95% CI, 1.49-2.60; <0.001). In addition, an abnormal ABI was associated with a higher risk of all-cause death, MI, and stroke, but not repeat revascularization. Conclusions Among patients with significant coronary artery disease, asymptomatic abnormal ABI was associated with sustained and increased incidence of composite of all-cause death/MI/stroke, all-cause death, MI, and stroke during extended follow-up over 7 years.
背景:新发现无症状的踝臂指数(ABI)异常对伴有严重冠状动脉疾病患者的长期影响有限。
方法和结果:2006 年 1 月至 2009 年 12 月,对 2424 例无跛行或外周动脉疾病史但伴有严重冠状动脉疾病的患者进行了 ABI 评估。我们之前报告了 3 年的结果;因此,随访时间延长。主要终点是 7 年内全因死亡、心肌梗死(MI)和中风的复合事件。在 2424 例伴有严重冠状动脉疾病的患者中,385 例 ABI 异常(ABI≤0.9 或≥1.4)。在随访期间,ABI 异常组的主要结局发生率明显高于 ABI 正常组(<0.001)。经多变量 Cox 比例风险回归分析(危险比[HR],2.07;95%置信区间[CI],1.67-2.57;<0.001)和倾向评分匹配分析(HR,1.97;95%CI,1.49-2.60;<0.001)调整后,ABI 异常组发生全因死亡/MI/中风的复合事件风险显著更高。此外,ABI 异常与全因死亡、MI 和中风的风险增加相关,但与重复血运重建无关。
结论:在伴有严重冠状动脉疾病的患者中,无症状的异常 ABI 与全因死亡/MI/中风、全因死亡、MI 和中风的复合事件发生率在 7 年以上的延长随访中持续增加。
