We aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of energy loss (EL) and baseline CT fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) computed using computational fluid dynamics to predict functional progression of coronary stenosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.
This single-center prospective study included 61 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (mean age, 61 years ±9 [SD]; 43 men) showing 20-70 % stenosis who underwent serial coronary CT performed at 2-year interval between October 2015 and March 2020. A mesh-free simulation was performed to calculate the CT-FFR and EL. Functional progression was defined as ≥ 0.05 decrease in CT-FFR on the second coronary CT. Models using baseline CT-FFR and EL were compared by analyzing the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.
Of the 94 vessels evaluated, 25 vessels (27 %) showed functional progression. EL at distal stenosis (EL) of vessels with functional progression was higher than that of vessels without functional progression (27.6 W/m [interquartile range (IQR): 15.0, 53.0] vs. 5.7 W/m [IQR: 2.3, 10.1], < 0.001). Multivariable analysis showed that EL (per unit Ln(EL); odds ratio, 11.8; 95 % CI: 4.0-34.9; p < 0.001) remained as a predictor of functional progression after adjustment for diameter stenosis and baseline CT-FFR. The area under the ROC curve using EL (0.89; 95 % CI: 0.82-0.96) was higher than that using baseline CT-FFR (0.71; 95 % CI: 0.59-0.83; < 0.001).
When EL and baseline CT-FFR were considered, EL was a better predictor of functional progression of coronary stenosis.
我们旨在研究能量损失(EL)和使用计算流体动力学计算的基线CT血流储备分数(CT-FFR)对预测2型糖尿病患者冠状动脉狭窄功能进展的诊断价值。
这项单中心前瞻性研究纳入了61例2型糖尿病患者(平均年龄61岁±9[标准差];43例男性),这些患者的冠状动脉狭窄程度为20%-70%,于2015年10月至2020年3月期间每隔2年进行一次冠状动脉CT检查。采用无网格模拟计算CT-FFR和EL。功能进展定义为第二次冠状动脉CT检查时CT-FFR下降≥0.05。通过分析受试者工作特征(ROC)曲线比较使用基线CT-FFR和EL的模型。
在评估的94条血管中,25条血管(27%)出现功能进展。出现功能进展的血管远端狭窄处的EL高于未出现功能进展的血管(27.6W/m[四分位间距(IQR):15.0,53.0]vs.5.7W/m[IQR:2.3,10.1],<0.001)。多变量分析显示,在调整了直径狭窄和基线CT-FFR后,EL(每单位Ln(EL);比值比,11.8;95%置信区间:4.0-34.9;p<0.001)仍然是功能进展的预测指标。使用EL的ROC曲线下面积(0.89;95%置信区间:0.82-0.96)高于使用基线CT-FFR的面积(0.71;95%置信区间:0.59-0.83;<0.001)。
在考虑EL和基线CT-FFR时,EL是冠状动脉狭窄功能进展的更好预测指标。
