The natural outcome of coronary plaque in acute coronary syndrome (ACS) patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) is unique, which can be analyzed quantitatively by optical flow ratio (OFR) software.
A total of 184 ACS patients with at least one nonculprit subclinical atherosclerosis (NSA) detected by optical coherence tomography (OCT) at baseline and 1-year follow-up were divided into non-CKD group (n = 106, estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR)> 90 mL/(min×1.73 m2)) and mild CKD group (n = 78, 60≤eGFR<90 mL/(min×1.73 m2)). Changes of normalized total atheroma volume (TAVn) of NSA was the primary endpoint at the 1-year follow-up.
Patients with mild CKD showed more TAVn progression of NSA than non-CKD (p = 0.019) from baseline to the 1-year follow-up, which was mainly due to an increase in calcium TAVn (p<0.001). The morphological change in the maximal calcification thickness (p = 0.026) was higher and the change in the distance from the calcified surface to the contralateral coronary media membrane (ΔC-to-M) at the maximal cross-sectional calcium area was lower (p<0.001) in mild CKD group than in non-CKD group. Mild CKD had more NSA related MACEs at the 5-year follow-up than non-CKD (30.8% vs. 5.8%, p = 0.045).
Mild CKD patients had more plaque progression of NSA which showed the increase of calcium component with more protrusion into the lumen morphologically at the 1-year follow-up and a higher corresponding incidence of NSA-related MACEs at the 5-year follow-up.

慢性肾脏病(CKD)患者急性冠脉综合征(ACS)的冠脉斑块的自然转归是独特的,可以通过光流比(OFR)软件进行定量分析。
共有 184 名 ACS 患者在基线和 1 年随访时通过光学相干断层扫描(OCT)检测到至少一处非罪犯亚临床动脉粥样硬化(NSA),分为非 CKD 组(n = 106,估算肾小球滤过率(eGFR)>90 mL/(min×1.73 m2))和轻度 CKD 组(n = 78,60≤eGFR<90 mL/(min×1.73 m2))。NSA 的归一化总动脉粥样硬化体积(TAVn)变化是 1 年随访的主要终点。
与非 CKD 相比,轻度 CKD 患者 NSA 的 TAVn 从基线到 1 年随访期进展更多(p = 0.019),主要是由于钙 TAVn 的增加(p<0.001)。最大钙化厚度的形态变化(p = 0.026)更高,在最大钙化面积的钙化表面与对侧冠脉中膜膜之间的距离(ΔC-to-M)的变化更低(p<0.001),在轻度 CKD 组比非 CKD 组。在 5 年随访时,轻度 CKD 组 NSA 相关的不良心脑血管事件(MACEs)更多(30.8% vs. 5.8%,p = 0.045)。
在 1 年随访时,轻度 CKD 患者 NSA 的斑块进展更多,表现为钙成分的增加,形态上向管腔更突出,5 年随访时 NSA 相关的 MACEs 发生率更高。
