Abstract:
Objective:To investigate the effects of fasting blood glucose levels on the quality of myocardial metabolism imaging via positron emission tomography/X-ray computed tomography(PET/CT)in patients with coronary heart disease.Methods:A total of 78 patients with coronary heart disease from 2019 to 2020 undergone 18-fluorine deoxyglucose( 18F-FDG)PET/CT myocardial imaging in Beijing Anzhen Hospital were retrospectively analyzed, with 64 patients meeting the inclusion criteria eventually enrolled in this study.All patients fasted over 8 hours and were injected with insulin and 18F-FDG following an oral glucose load.Then myocardial imaging evaluations were performed.Depending on whether the myocardial image quality(IQ)offered a match with clinical diagnosis, a score between 0-2 from the semiquantitative scoring system was defined as good IQ, while a score between 3-4 defined as poor IQ.Differences in sex, age, rate of diabetes, body mass index, fasting blood glucose(FBG), glycosylated hemoglobin, glycosylated serum albumin, triglycerides and free fatty acids, lipid-regulating drugs, and oral antidiabetic medications were analyzed between the good( n=55)and poor( n=19)image groups, and risk factors were examined. Results:The diabetes mellitus rate was higher in the poor group than in the good group(63.2% vs.33.3%, χ2=4.872, P=0.027). FBG, glycosylated hemoglobin and glycosylated serum albumin levels in the poor group were increased compared with the good group[7.67(6.02, 11.64)mmol/L vs.5.52(4.97, 6.37)mmol/L, 7.30(6.43, 8.70)% vs.6.20(5.60, 6.87)%, 19.8(15.1, 24.1)% vs.14.8(13.9, 16.8)%, U=-3.909, -2.419 and -3.042, P<0.001, P=0.016 and 0.002, respectively]. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that FBG was an independent risk factor for poor imaging( OR=1.62, 95% CI: 1.19-2.20, P=0.002). The area under the receiver operator characteristic(ROC)curve for FBG was 0.811(95% CI: 0.69-0.93, P<0.001), and the cut-off value for FBG was 6.66 mmol/L. Conclusions:FBG is an independent risk factor for myocardial image quality.Patients with diabetes mellitus should rigorously control their blood glucose levels.
