Non-contrast-enhanced multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance reveals coronary microvascular functional and structural obstruction after percutaneous coronary intervention
摘要
Coronary microvascular functional and structural obstructions (CMVO) after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) are a major cause of poor clinical outcomes in patients with acute coronary syndrome. This study aimed to noninvasively diagnose the presence of CMVO using non-contrast multiparametric cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) who underwent PCI.
MethodsWe retrospectively enrolled consecutive patients with AMI who underwent PCI and subsequent acute-phase CMR at our hospital. The patients were divided into two groups: those with and those without CMVO. The top five clinical and CMR parameters were extracted based on their correlation coefficients with the presence of CMVO. Receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curves and area under the curve (AUC) were generated to compare the diagnostic performance of CMVO detection using the Top_5 clinical parameters, Top_5 CMR parameters, and CMR left ventricular (LV) volume and structure parameters. Differences in the AUC between parameters were compared using the DeLong test.
ResultsForty-eight patients (40 men and 8 women; mean age, 66 ± 12 years) were included in the study. For CMVO detection, the ROC curves of Top_5 clinical parameters, Top_5 CMR parameters, and CMR LV volume and structure parameters demonstrated AUCs of 0.87, 1.00, and 0.72, respectively. The Top_5 CMR parameters exhibited the highest AUC, showing significant differences compared to the other groups.
ConclusionNon-contrast enhanced multiparametric CMR allows the diagnosis of CMVO with high accuracy and without kidney burden and is expected to be a useful marker for risk stratification, patient management, and treatment decision-making.
