Project description:Coronary artery disease (CAD) remains the leading cause of death worldwide with approximately 1 in 30 patients with stable CAD experiencing death or acute myocardial infarction each year. The presence and extent of resultant myocardial ischaemia has been shown to confer an increased risk of adverse outcomes. Whilst, optimal medical therapy (OMT) forms the cornerstone of the management of patients with stable CAD, a significant number of patients present with ischaemia refractory to OMT. Historically coronary angiography alone has been used to determine coronary lesion severity in both stable and acute settings. It is increasingly clear that this approach fails to accurately identify the haemodynamic significance of lesions; especially those that are visually "intermediate" in severity. Revascularisation based upon angiographic appearances alone may not reduce coronary events above OMT. Technological advances have enabled the measurement of physiological indices including the fractional flow reserve, the index of microcirculatory resistance and the coronary flow reserve. The integration of these parameters into the routine management of patients presenting to the cardiac catheterization laboratory with CAD represents a critical adjunctive tool in the optimal management of these patients by identifying patients that would most benefit from revascularisation and importantly also highlighting patients that would not gain benefit and therefore reducing the likelihood of adverse outcomes associated with coronary revascularisation. Furthermore, these techniques are applicable to a broad range of patients including those with left main stem disease, proximal coronary disease, diabetes mellitus, previous percutaneous coronary intervention and with previous coronary artery bypass grafting. This review will discuss current concepts relevant to coronary physiology assessment, its role in the management of both stable and acute patients and future applications.

Project description:Multi-vessel coronary artery disease (MVD) frequently features ambiguous or intermediate lesions that may be both serial and complex, suggesting that multiple regions require revascularization. Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) is associated with various challenges such as appropriate identification of lesions that should be treated, the choice of an optimum revascularization method, and limitations of long-term outcomes. Optimal patient selection and careful targeting of lesions are key when planning treatment. Physiology-guided decision-making (based on the fractional flow reserve) can overcome the current limitations of PCI used to treat MVD regardless of clinical presentation or disease subtype, as confirmed in recent clinical trials. Here, we review the use of physiology-guided PCI for patients with MVD, and their early and late outcomes.

Project description:BackgroundIn patients with angina undergoing invasive management, no obstructive coronary artery disease (NOCAD) is a common finding, and angina may persist following percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Coronary microvascular dysfunction may be relevant. We aimed to assess the proportion of patients presenting with suspected CAD who had coronary microvascular dysfunction.MethodsClinical Evaluation of Magnetic Resonance Imaging in Coronary Heart Disease 2 (CE-MARC 2) was a prospective multicenter randomised controlled trial of functional imaging versus guideline-based management in patients with suspected CAD. Invasive coronary angiography was protocol-directed. Fractional flow reserve (FFR) and parameters of microvascular function (coronary flow reserve (CFR), index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR), resistance reserve ratio (RRR)) were measured in major epicardial coronary arteries with ?40-?90% diameter stenosis. An FFR value ?0.80 indicated the presence of obstructive CAD.Results267/1202 (22.2%) patients underwent angiography and 81 (30%) patients had FFR measured. 63 (78%) of these patients had microvascular function assessed in 85 arteries (mean age 58.5?±?8.2?years; 47 (75%) male). 25/63 (40%) patients had NOCAD, and of these, 17 (68%) had an abnormality ?1 parameter of microvascular function (abnormal IMR (?25), abnormal CFR (<2.0), and abnormal RRR (<2.0) occurred in 10 (40%), 12 (48%), and 11 (44%), respectively). 38/63 (60%) patients had obstructive epicardial CAD. Of these patients, 15/38 (39%), 20/38 (53%), and 12/38 (32%) had an abnormal IMR, CFR and RRR, respectively.ConclusionsCoronary microvascular dysfunction is common in patients with angina. Invasive assessment of microvascular function may be informative and relevant for decision-making in patients with both NOCAD and obstructive epicardial CAD.Clinical trial registrationClinicalTrials.gov Identifier: NCT01664858.

Project description:We performed a retrospective cohort study to analyze all 87 CAD patients with MGUS and 178 CAD patients without MGUS admitted in Zhongshan Hospital Fudan University from 2015 to 2017. Patients were followed up via regular patient visits or telephone, and the median follow-up period was 2.9 years. The end point of follow-up was the occurrence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE). CAD patients with MGUS had a higher risk of MACE than those without MGUS (log-rank P = 0.0015). After adjustment for other markers in the stepwise Cox regression model, MGUS was still related to the increasing risk of MACE incident (P = 0.002, HR = 2.308). Then, we constructed the nomogram based on the Cox regression model, and the concordance index (C-index) was 0.667. Hence, MGUS might be added into the risk model of CAD.

Project description:Background: The association between coronary physiology and immunoinflammation has not been investigated. We performed a retrospective study using quantitative flow ratio (QFR) to evaluate the interaction between immunoinflammatory biomarkers and coronary physiology. Methods: A total of 172 patients with CAD who underwent coronary arteriography (CAG) and QFR were continuously enrolled from May 2020 to February 2021. As a quantitative indicator of coronary physiology, QFR can reflect the functional severity of coronary artery stenosis. The target vessel measured by QFR was defined as that with the most severe lesions. Significant coronary anatomical stenosis was defined as 70% stenosis in the target vessel. Results: Compared with the QFR > 0.8 group, interleukin (IL)-6, IL-10, tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α, and interferon (IFN)-γ were increased and CD3+ and CD4+ T lymphocyte counts were decreased in the QFR ≤ 0.8 group. In addition, patients with DS ≤ 70% had higher IL-6, IL-10, and TNF-α levels and decreased CD3+ and CD4+ T lymphocyte counts than those with DS > 70%. Logistic regression analysis indicated IL-6 to be an independent predictor of significant coronary functional and anatomic stenosis (odds ratio, 1.125; 95% CI, 1.059-1.196; P < 0.001). Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) analyses showed that IL-6 > 6.36 was predictive of QFR ≤ 0.8 of the target vessel. The combination of IL-6, IL-10 and CD4 improved the value for predicting QFR ≤ 0.8 of the target vessel (AUC, 0.737; 95% CI, 0.661-0.810). Conclusion: Among immunoinflammatory biomarkers, IL-6 was independently associated with a higher risk of QFR ≤ 0.8 of the target vessel. The combination of immunoinflammatory biomarkers was highly predictive of significant coronary functional and anatomic stenosis.

Project description:Background The inflammatory biomarker YKL-40 has previously been studied as a potential risk marker in cardiovascular disease. We aimed to assess the prognostic reclassification potential of serum YKL-40 in patients with stable coronary artery disease. Methods and Results The main study population was the placebo group of the CLARICOR (Effect of Clarithromycin on Mortality and Morbidity in Patients With Ischemic Heart Disease) trial. The primary outcome was a composite of acute myocardial infarction, unstable angina pectoris, cerebrovascular disease, and all-cause mortality. We used Cox proportional hazards regression models adjusted for C-reactive protein level and baseline cardiovascular risk factors. Improvement in prediction by adding serum YKL-40 to the risk factors was calculated using the Cox-Breslow method and c-statistic. A total of 2200 patients were randomized to placebo, with a follow-up duration of 10 years. YKL-40 was associated with an increased risk of the composite outcome (hazard ratio per unit increase in (YKL-40) 1.13, 95% CI 1.03-1.24, P=0.013) and all-cause mortality (hazard ratio 1.32, 95% CI 1.17-1.49, P<0.0001). Considering whether a composite-outcome event was more likely to have, or not have, occurred to date, we found 68.4% of such predictions to be correct when based on the standard predictors, and 68.5% when serum YKL-40 was added as a predictor. Equivalent results were obtained with c-statistics. Conclusions Higher serum YKL-40 was independently associated with an increased risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes and mortality. Addition of YKL-40 did not improve risk prediction in patients with stable coronary artery disease. Clinical Trial Registration URL: https://www.clinicaltrials.gov/. Unique identifier: NCT00121550.

Project description:IntroductionTroponin elevation is an independent risk factor for mortality, but the prognosis of patients with troponin elevation and non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) is unknown. Recent data have suggested an increased risk of mortality. This study was performed to further investigate the outcomes of troponin-positive patients with obstructive and non-obstructive CAD.MethodsA retrospective cohort analysis was performed of all patients with raised troponin presenting to Kettering General Hospital (January 2010 to December 2011, n = 1,351). The patients who had angiograms were stratified anatomically into obstructive CAD and non-obstructive CAD (?50% stenosis). The obstructive CAD group (O-CAD) was sub-analyzed by management strategy: emergency re-vascularization (<12 h), urgent, delayed, and medically managed. Patients with non-obstructive CAD were grouped by the cause of the raised troponin if this could be identified (NO-CAD-I) or cause remained unidentified (NO-CAD-U). The major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular event (MACCE) and mortality rates were calculated at 30 days and 1-year follow-up.ResultsThere was a preponderance of hypertension and severe renal impairment in the non-obstructive CAD group. The patients with NO-CAD-U were a low-risk group (MACCE at 1-year follow-up = 0). The remaining NO-CAD-I group had a similar risk to the O-CAD group for MACCE and mortality at 30 days and 1-year follow-up. In fact, at 1-year follow-up, the NO-CAD-I patients when compared with the subgroups of O-CAD, had higher MACCE rates and mortality compared with the emergency re-vascularized group [MACCE: relative risk (RR) (95% CI) = 2.27 (1.29-3.40), P = 0.0047; mortality: RR (95% CI) = 2.08 (1.10-3.93), P = 0.024]. This was driven by higher risk non-cardiac death [RR (95% CI) = 4.10 (1.53-10.99), P = 0.005].ConclusionPatients with identified cause for raised troponin and non-obstructive CAD are at equivalent risk of MACCE and mortality at 30 days and 1-year follow-up compared to those with obstructive CAD.

Project description:The human LncRNA microarray analysis of the 6 plasma samples from Coronary Artery Disease patients and non Coronary Artery Disease Agilent Feature Extraction software (version 11.0.1.1) was used to analyze acquired array images. Quantile normalization was performed using Expander6 and subsequent data processing was performed using the GeneSpring GX v11.5.1 software package (Agilent Technologies). After low intensity filtering, LncRNAs and mRNAs that at least 2 out of 12 samples have flags in Present or Marginal (“All Targets Value”) were chosen for quantile normalization and further data analysis. Differentially expressed LncRNAs and mRNAs with statistical significance were identified through Volcano Plot filtering. Pathway analysis and GO analysis were applied to determine the roles of these differentially expressed mRNAs played in these biological pathways or GO terms. Finally, Hierarchical Clustering was performed to show the distinguishable LncRNAs expression pattern among samples.
