Abstract:
Objective To compare the application value of coronary computed tomography angiography(CCTA)based plaque characteristics and computed tomography(CT)derived parameters in predicting future major adverse cardiovascular events(MACE)between patients with and without diabetes mellitus.Methods A total of 425 patients who underwent CCTA in Shunde Hospital Affiliated to Southern Medical University from June 2016 to November 2016 were retrospectively analyzed.Patients were divided into DM group(n=120)and non-DM group(n=305)for follow-up.According to the occurrence of MACE during follow-up,patients were divided into DM group(n=81),DM+MACE group(n=39),non-DM group(n=39),non-DM group(n=244)and non-DM+MACE group(n=61).The differences in general characteristics,biochemical index and parameters in imaging were compared among the four groups.Cox proportional hazards regression analysis was used to analyze the influencing factors for MACE in the two populations.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was used to analyze the difference in the predictive value of different plaque characteristics and CT-derived parameters for MACE.Results The levels of coronary artery calcification score(CACS),and the proportion of low-attenuation plaque(LAP)were higher in the DM+MACE group than in the DM group(P<0.05).The levels of positive reconstruction(PR),the proportion of antihypertensive drugs,CAD-RADS,CACS,residual cholesterol and apolipoprotein B were higher in the non-DM+MACE group than in the non-DM group(P<0.05).Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that CACS≥100(HR 2.151,95%CI 1.128～4.102,P=0.020)and LAP(HR 2.337,95%CI 1.032～5.290,P=0.042)were the influencing factors for MACE in patients with DM.PR(HR 124.305,95%CI 42.883～360.326,P<0.001)was the influencing factor for MACE in patients without DM.ROC curve analysis showed that the AUC of CACS combined with LAP were 0.606,0.609 and 0.660 for predicting MACE in DM patients within 1,3 and 5 years respectively.The AUC of PR for predicting MACE were 0.862,0.927,and 0.806 in the non-DM population within 1,3,and 5 years respectively.The predictive value of CACS and LAP for MACE in the DM patients was stable during the 5 years,while the predictive value of PR for MACE in the non-DM population decreased significantly after 4 years.Conclusions The predictive values of different plaque characteristics and CT derived parameters for future MACE are different between population with and without diabetes.The combination of CACS and low-attenuation plaques can effectively evaluate the risk of MACE in diabetic patients,while PR has a higher predictive value for MACE in non-diabetic patients.
