Abstract:
Objective To evaluate the long-term prognostic value of coronary CT angiography-derived fractional flow reserve(CT-FFR)in elderly patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 1133 patients with clinically suspected CHD from a prospective observational study based on coronary CTA and CT-FFR at the General Hos-pital of Eastern Theater from April 2018 to March 2019,and 330 elderly CHD patients were even-tually included.According to major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)occurred or not,295 patients were assigned into non-MACE group and 35 patients into the MACE group.Based on cor-onary CTA data,plaque features were analyzed and CT-FFR values were measured in all lesioned vessels.The relationship of plaque features and CT-FFR with MACE was evaluated by using Cox proportional risk regression model,Kaplan-Meier survival curve,and ROC curve analyses.Results The patients with coronary stenosis(≥50%)or CT-FFR value ≤0.8 had a higher risk of MACE(P<0.01).Univariate Cox analysis showed that coronary stenosis ≥50%and CT-FFR value 0.8 were risk factors of MACE(P<0.01).After adjusting confounding factors,multivariate Cox analysis indicated that CT-FFR ≤0.8(HR=17.037,95%CI:5.060-57.358,P=0.000)was only independent predictor for MACE.The risk prediction model based on CT-FFR presented better performance than the model based on coronary CTA stenosis(C-index:0.820 vs 0.696,P=0.000).Conclusion CT-FFR≤0.8 is an important independent predictor for long-term MACE in elderly CHD patients.Clinical risk stratification based on CT-FFR may optimize prognostic man-agement strategies in these patients.
