Background
Coronary artery disease (CAD) diagnosis by coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) is useful for identification of symptomatic diabetic individuals at heightened risk for death. Whether CCTA-detected CAD enables improved risk assessment of asymptomatic diabetic individuals beyond clinical risk factors and coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) remains unexplored.Methods
From a prospective 12-center international registry of 27,125 individuals undergoing CCTA, we identified 400 asymptomatic diabetic individuals without known CAD. Coronary stenosis by CCTA was graded as 0%, 1–49%, 50–69%, and ≥70%. CAD was judged on a per-patient, per-vessel and per-segment basis as maximal stenosis severity, number of vessels with ≥50% stenosis, and coronary segments weighted for stenosis severity (segment stenosis score), respectively. We assessed major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) – inclusive of mortality, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), and late target vessel revascularization ≥90 days (REV) – and evaluated the incremental utility of CCTA for risk prediction, discrimination and reclassification.Results
Mean age was 60.4 ± 9.9 years; 65.0% were male. At a mean follow-up 2.4 ± 1.1 years, 33 MACE occurred (13 deaths, 8 MI, 12 REV) [8.25%; annualized rate 3.4%]. By univariate analysis, per-patient maximal stenosis [hazards ratio (HR) 2.24 per stenosis grade, 95% confidence interval (CI) 1.61–3.10, p < 0.001], increasing numbers of obstructive vessels (HR 2.30 per vessel, 95% CI 1.75–3.03, p < 0.001) and segment stenosis score (HR 1.14 per segment, 95% CI 1.09–1.19, p < 0.001) were associated with increased MACE. After adjustment for CAD risk factors and CACS, maximal stenosis (HR 1.80 per grade, 95% CI 1.18–2.75, p = 0.006), number of obstructive vessels (HR 1.85 per vessel, 95% CI 1.29–2.65, p < 0.001) and segment stenosis score (HR 1.11 per segment, 95% CI 1.05–1.18, p < 0.001) were associated with increased risk of MACE. Beyond age, gender and CACS (C-index 0.64), CCTA improved discrimination by maximal stenosis, number of obstructive vessels and segment stenosis score (C-index 0.77, 0.77 and 0.78, respectively). Similarly, CCTA findings improved risk reclassification by per-patient maximal stenosis [integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) index 0.03, p = 0.03] and number of obstructive vessels (IDI index 0.06, p = 0.002), and by trend for segment stenosis score (IDI 0.03, p = 0.06).Conclusion
For asymptomatic diabetic individuals, CCTA measures of CAD severity confer incremental risk prediction, discrimination and reclassification on a per-patient, per-vessel and per-segment basis. 相似文献2.

Background
As drug-eluting stent (DES) has almost overcome the disadvantage of frequent restenosis, off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCAB) has been introduced to avoid complications of cardiopulmonary bypass. However, which approach may promise better outcomes for patients with coronary artery disease remains controversial.Methods
Three databases were searched. The outcomes of interest were major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE), all-cause death, target vessel revascularization (TVR), repeat revascularization (RRV), myocardial infarction (MI), and cerebrovascular events (CVE). The relative risk (RR) was calculated as the summary statistic.Results
11,452 patients from 22 studies were included, of which 4949 patients underwent OPCAB and 6503 patients received DES. The cumulative rates of MACCE (RR [95% CI] = 0.43 [0.34, 0.54], P < 0.00001), all-cause death (RR [95% CI] = 0.56 [0.33, 0.96], P = 0.03), TVR (RR [95% CI] = 0.33 [0.21, 0.53], P < 0.00001), RRV (RR [95% CI] = 0.22 [0.11, 0.42], P < 0.00001) and MI (RR [95% CI] = 0.13 [0.05, 0.29], P < 0.00001) at 3 years were all lower in OPCAB group. The incidences of in-hospital death (RR [95% CI] = 1.31 [0.81, 2.13], P = 0.27) and MI (RR [95% CI] = 1.03 [0.60, 1.78], P = 0.92) were not different between groups, but the rate of in-hospital CVE was lower (RR [95% CI] = 2.6355 [1.0033, 6.9228], P = 0.05) in DES group.Conclusions
OPCAB presents better long-term outcomes of MACCE, all-cause mortality, TVR, RRV and MI but uncertain outcome of postoperative CVE without influencing the incidences of in-hospital death and MI. 相似文献3.

Purpose
To demonstrate the usefulness of the multislice computer tomography coronary angiography (CCTA) in patients with suspected acute chest pain without electrical changes or enzyme rise, and with low cardiovascular risk.Patients and methods
Fifty-three patients at low or intermediate risk for coronary artery disease, who were admitted in the emergency department for an acute chest pain, and who underwent a CCTA, were included in the study. Results of the CCTA were classified as normal, non-obstructive stenosis (≤ 50% stenosis in diameter), obstructive stenosis (> 50% stenosis in diameter). The mortality was assessed during a 4-years follow-up period.Results
Mean age was 61 years (36–86), 43% of patients were women. The CCTA was normal in 35 patients (66%), seven patients (13%) had non-obstructive stenosis and 11 (21%) had obstructive stenosis. In the group of normal CCTA, 8.5% of patients were admitted in cardiac intensive care unit, 57.1% in the non-obstructive stenosis and 90.9% in the group of obstructive stenosis. No deaths occurred during the 4-year follow up in the group of patients with normal CCTA.Conclusion
This study confirms the negative predictive value of CCTA for the diagnosis of coronary artery disease and for further clinical events in patients at low or intermediate risk referred to emergency department for an acute chest pain. 相似文献4.

Objective
To evaluate the prognostic value and test characteristics of coronary artery calcium (CAC) score for the identification of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in comparison with coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) among symptomatic patients.Methods
Retrospective cohort study at two large hospitals, including all symptomatic patients without prior CAD who underwent both CCTA and CAC. Accuracy of CAC for the identification of ≥50% and ≥70% stenosis by CCTA was evaluated. Prognostic value of CAC and CCTA were compared for prediction of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE, defined as non-fatal myocardial infarction, cardiovascular death, late coronary revascularization (>90 days), and unstable angina requiring hospitalization).Results
Among 1145 included patients, the mean age was 55 ± 12 years and median follow up 2.4 (IQR: 1.5–3.5) years. Overall, 406 (35%) CCTA were normal, 454 (40%) had <50% stenosis, and 285 (25%) had ≥50% stenosis. The prevalence of ≥70% stenosis was 16%. Among 483 (42%) patients with CAC zero, 395 (82%) had normal CCTA, 81 (17%) <50% stenosis, and 7 (1.5%) ≥ 50% stenosis. 2 (0.4%) patients had ≥70% stenosis. For diagnosis of ≥50% stenosis, CAC had a sensitivity of 98% and specificity of 55%. The negative predictive value (NPV) for CAC was 99% for ≥50% stenosis and 99.6% for ≥70% stenosis by CCTA. There were no adverse events among the 7 patients with zero calcium and ≥50% CAD. For prediction of MACE, the c-statistic for clinical risk factors of 0.62 increased to 0.73 (p < 0.001) with CAC versus 0.77 (p = 0.02) with CCTA.Conclusion
Among symptomatic patients with CAC zero, a 1–2% prevalence of potentially obstructive CAD occurs, although this finding was not associated with future coronary revascularization or adverse prognosis within 2 years. 相似文献5.

Background
Platelets with high hemostatic activity play an important role in the pathophysiology of coronary artery disease(CAD) and mean platelet volume(MPV) has been proposed as an indicator of platelet reactivity. Thus, MPV may emerge as a potential marker of CAD risk. The aim of this study was to conduct a systematic review and meta-analysis comparing mean difference in MPV between patients with CAD and controls and pooling the odds ratio of CAD in those with high versus low MPV.Methods
Medline and Scopus databases were searched up to 12 March 2013. All observational studies that considered MPV as a study's factor and measured CAD as an outcome were included. Two reviewers independently selected the studies and extracted the data.Results
Forty studies were included in this meta-analysis. The MPV was significantly larger in patients with CAD than controls with the unstandardized mean difference of 0.70 fL (95% CI: 0.55, 0.85). The unstandardized mean difference of MPV in patients with acute coronary event and in patients with chronic stable angina was 0.84 fL (95% CI: 0.63, 1.04) and 0.46 fL (95% CI: 0.11, 0.81) respectively. Patients with larger MPV (≥ 7.3 fL) also had a greater odds of having CAD than patients with smaller MPV with a pooled odds ratio of 2.28 (95% CI: 1.46, 3.58).Conclusion
Larger MPV was associated with CAD. Thus, it might be helpful in risk stratification, or improvement of risk prediction if combining it with other risk factors in risk prediction models. 相似文献6.

Background
Although lipoprotein(a) [Lp(a)] has been considered a cardiovascular risk factor for many years, there is a paucity of data in regard to the potential risk of elevated Lp(a) in symptomatic patients with CAD. Therefore, we sought to evaluate whether elevated Lp(a) is associated with worse outcome in symptomatic patients with coronary artery disease (CAD), and to clarify the prognostic value of Lp(a) in the era of coronary artery revascularization.Methods
6252 consecutive subjects (59.2% male, mean age 61.2 ± 11.2 years) suspected of having CAD underwent coronary angiography. Laboratory values for lipid parameters including Lp(a) were obtained on the day of coronary angiography. Baseline risk factors, coronary angiographic findings, length of follow-up, and major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE), including cardiac death and non-fatal myocardial infarction were recorded.Results
Over a mean follow-up period of 3.1 ± 2.2 years, there were 100 MACE (56 cardiac deaths and 44 non-fatal myocardial infarctions), with an event rate of 1.6%. In multivariate Cox regression analysis, elevated Lp(a) was a significant predictor of MACE [hazard ratio 1.773 (95% confidence interval 1.194–2.634, p = 0.005)], and the addition of this factor to the model significantly increased the global х2 value over traditional risk factors and CAD (from 79.1 to 88.7, p = 0.003).Conclusions
Elevated Lp(a) is an independent prognostic risk factor for cardiovascular events, and moreover, has incremental prognostic value in symptomatic patients with coronary artery revascularization. 相似文献7.

Aims
This study examined whether the association between hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c) and short-term clinical outcomes is moderated by CAD severity.Methods
We studied 17,394 US Veterans with type 2 diabetes who underwent elective cardiac catheterization between 2005 and 2013. CAD severity was categorized as obstructive, non-obstructive, or no CAD. Using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression, we assessed associations between time-varying HbA1c and two-year all-cause mortality and non-fatal MI, with an interaction term between HbA1c and CAD severity.Results
61%, 22%, and 17% of participants had obstructive, non-obstructive, and no CAD, respectively. CAD severity modified the relationship between HbA1c and each outcome (interaction p-value 0.0005 for mortality and <0.0001 for MI). Low HbA1c (<42?mmol/mol) was associated with increased mortality, relative to HbA1c of 48–52?mmol/mol, in individuals with obstructive CAD (HR 1.52 [1.17, 1.97]) and non-obstructive CAD (HR 2.61 [1.61, 4.23]), but not in those with no CAD (HR 0.91 [0.46, 1.79]). In contrast, higher HbA1c levels (≥53?mmol/mol) were associated with increased MI risk only in individuals with obstructive CAD.Conclusions
The associations between HbA1c and mortality and MI were moderated by CAD severity. Measures of cardiovascular disease severity may inform optimal individualized diabetes management. 相似文献8.

Objective
To validate independent associations between branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) and other metabolites with coronary artery disease (CAD).Methods
We conducted mass-spectrometry-based profiling of 63 metabolites in fasting plasma from 1983 sequential patients undergoing cardiac catheterization. Significant CAD was defined as CADindex ≥ 32 (at least one vessel with ≥95% stenosis; N = 995) and no CAD as CADindex ≤ 23 and no previous cardiac events (N = 610). Individuals (N = 378) with CAD severity between these extremes were excluded. Principal components analysis (PCA) reduced large numbers of correlated metabolites into uncorrelated factors. Association between metabolite factors and significant CAD vs. no CAD was tested using logistic regression; and between metabolite factors and severity of CAD was tested using linear regression.Results
Of twelve PCA-derived metabolite factors, two were associated with CAD in multivariable models: factor 10, composed of BCAA (adjusted odds ratio, OR, 1.20; 95% CI 1.05–1.35, p = 0.005) and factor 7, composed of short-chain acylcarnitines, which include byproducts of BCAA metabolism (adjusted OR 1.30; 95% CI 1.14–1.48, p = 0.001). After adjustment for glycated albumin (marker of insulin resistance [IR]) both factors 7 (p = 0.0001) and 10 (p = 0.004) remained associated with CAD. Severity of CAD as a continuous variable (including patients with non-obstructive disease) was associated with metabolite factors 2, 3, 6, 7, 8 and 9; only factors 7 and 10 were associated in multivariable models.Conclusions
We validated the independent association of metabolites involved in BCAA metabolism with CAD extremes. These metabolites may be reporting on novel mechanisms of CAD pathogenesis that are independent of IR and diabetes. 相似文献9.

Background
Whether ZES can further improve angiographic and clinical outcomes compared to SES still remains uncertain.Objectives
The aim of this study was to assess the efficacy and safety of zotarolimus-eluting stents (ZES) compared with sirolimus-eluting stents (SES) in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI).Methods
Major electronic information sources were explored for randomized controlled trials comparing ZES with SES among patients undergoing PCI during at least 9 months follow-up. The primary efficacy outcomes were target lesion revascularization (TLR), target vessel revascularization (TVR), and major adverse cardiac events (MACE); safety outcomes were stent thrombosis (ST), myocardial infarction (MI), and cardiac death.Results
Seven comparative studies were identified (a total of 5983 patients). When compared with ZES at 12-month follow‐up, SES significantly reduced risk of MACE (relative risk [RR]: 0.74, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 0.61 to 0.89, p = 0.002), and TLR (RR:0.39; 95% CI: 0.29 to 0.52; p < 0.00001), without significant differences in terms of TVR (RR:0.68, 95% CI: 0.38 to 1.20; p = 0.18), ST (RR:0.71; 95% CI: 0.39 to 1.31; p = 0.28), cardiac death (RR:0.83; 95% CI: 0.49–1.42, p = 0.50) or MI (RR:1.08; 95%CI: 0.80 to 1.45; p = 0.62).Conclusions
At 12-month follow-up, SES are superior to ZES in reducing the incidences of TLR and MACE in patients undergoing PCI, without significant differences in terms of TVR, ST, cardiac death, and MI. 相似文献10.

Objective
We examined whether early loading of eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) reduces clinical adverse events by 1 month, accompanied by a decrease in C-reactive protein (CRP) values in patients with acute myocardial infarction (MI).Background
Acute MI triggers an inflammatory reaction, which plays an important role in myocardial injury. EPA could attenuate the inflammatory response.Methods
This prospective, open-label, blinded endpoint, randomized trial consisted of 115 patients with acute MI. They were randomly assigned to the EPA group (57 patients) and the control group (58 patients). After percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), 1800 mg/day of EPA was initiated within 24 h. The primary endpoint was composite events, including cardiac death, stroke, re-infarction, ventricular arrhythmias, and paroxysmal atrial fibrillation within 1 month.Results
Administration of EPA significantly reduced the primary endpoint within 1 month (10.5 vs 29.3%, p = 0.01), especially the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias (7.0 vs 20.6%, p = 0.03). Peak CRP values after PCI in the EPA group were significantly lower than those in the control group (median [interquartile range], 8.2 [5.6–10.2] mg/dl vs 9.7 [7.6–13.9] mg/dl, p < 0.01). Logistic regression analysis showed that EPA use was an independent factor related to ventricular arrhythmia until 1 month, with an odds ratio of 0.29 (95% confidence interval, 0.09 to 0.96, p = 0.04).Conclusions
Early EPA treatment after PCI in the acute stage of MI reduces the incidence of ventricular arrhythmias, and lowers CRP values. 相似文献11.

Background
Limited data exist regarding the prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) as well as clinical outcomes in asymptomatic diabetic patients with normotension, controlled hypertension, and uncontrolled hypertension.Methods
We enrolled 935 consecutive asymptomatic type 2 diabetic patients without known CAD. Coronary computed tomography angiography was used to evaluate the prevalence and severity of CAD. Blood pressure was measured at baseline. Patients were assigned to one of the three groups: normotension (n = 314), controlled hypertension (systolic blood pressure (SBP) < 140 mmHg with treatment, n = 458), or uncontrolled hypertension (SBP ≥ 140 mmHg with or without treatment, n = 163).Results
Obstructive CAD (≥ 50% stenosis) increased from the prevalence in normotensive patients (33%) to that in patients with controlled (40%) or uncontrolled hypertension (52%) (p = 0.003). The incidence of obstructive CAD in multivessel or left main CAD also increased across the three groups (13%, 21%, 32%, respectively, p < 0.001). A multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that uncontrolled hypertension was an independent predictor of obstructive CAD (adjusted odds ratio, 2.13; 95% confidence interval (CI), 1.42 to 3.21, p < 0.001). During a median follow-up of 3.1 years, uncontrolled hypertension was associated with increased risk of cardiac death or myocardial infarction compared to the risk in normotensive patients (hazard ratio, 6.11; 95% CI, 1.65 to 22.6, p = 0.007).Conclusion
In asymptomatic type 2 diabetic patients, uncontrolled hypertension was associated with increased risk of CAD and poor clinical outcomes. 相似文献12.

Background
Gender-based differences in diabetic patients are understudied in the field of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) with drug-eluting stents.Methods
Data were obtained from a multicenter registry of 2420 consecutive patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) who underwent PCI with paclitaxel- or sirolimus-eluting stents between 2003 and 2009. Among them, 679 (28.1%) women were compared to 1741 (71.9%) men in terms of clinical aspects and major adverse cardiac events (MACE), including all-cause death, myocardial infarction (MI) and target lesion revascularization (TLR). Target vessel revascularization (TVR) and any revascularization were also reported.Results
Women were less numerous, older, used more insulin and showed more tortuous coronary arteries, while men were more frequently smokers and received larger stents. At the median follow-up of 24.3 months (interquartile range 12.3–39.7), MACE, TVR and any revascularization did not significantly differ between females and males (19.9% vs 18.7%, 12.2% vs 13.4%, 14.1% vs 15.1%, respectively). At multivariable analysis of the overall cohort, female gender was not a predictor of MACE (hazard ratio [HR] 1.02, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.92–2.36, p = 0.11), death (HR 1.04, 95% CI 0.84–1.24, p = 0.86), MI (HR 1.48, 95% CI 0.92–2.36, p = 0.11), and TLR (HR 1.14, 95% CI 0.85–1.52, p = 0.38).Conclusion
In this registry of diabetic patients treated by drug-eluting stents, women were less represented, older and needed more insulin compared to men who, on the other hand, received larger stents. Gender-related outcomes were similar and female sex did not predict MACE. 相似文献13.

Background
Currently, the appropriateness of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) using drug-eluting stents (DES) versus coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG) for patients with diabetes (DM) and multi-vessel disease (MVD) is uncertain due to limited evidence from few randomised controlled trials (RCTs). We aimed to compare the clinical effectiveness of CABG versus PCI-DES in DM-MVD patients using an evidence-based approach.Methods
A systematic review and meta-analyses were conducted to compare the risk of all-cause mortality, myocardial infarction (MI), repeat revascularisation, cerebrovascular events (CVE), and major adverse cardiac or cerebrovascular events (MACCE).Results
A total of 1,837 and 3,052 DM-MVD patients were pooled from four RCTs (FREEDOM, SYNTAX, VA CARDS, and CARDia) and five non-randomised studies. At mean follow-up of 3 years, CABG compared with PCI-DES was associated with a lower risk of all-cause mortality and MI in RCTs. By contrast, no significant differences were observed in the mean 3.5-year risk of all-cause mortality and MI in non-randomised trials. However, the risk of repeat revascularisations following PCI-DES compared with CABG was 2.3 (95% CI = 1.8–2.8) and 3.0 (2.3–4.2)-folds higher in RCTs and non-randomised trials, respectively. Accordingly, the risk of MACCE at 3 years following CABG compared with PCI-DES was lower in both RCTs and non-randomised trials [0.65 (: 0.55–0.77); and 0.77 (0.60–0.98), respectively].Conclusions
Based on our pooled results, we recommend CABG compared with PCI-DES for patients with DM-MVD. Although non-randomised trials suggest no additional survival-, MI-, and CVE- benefit from CABG over PCI-DES, these results should be interpreted with care. 相似文献14.

Background/objectives
Long term safety of DES, particularly regarding thrombosis is of concern. The hypothesized underlying mechanisms (stent underexpansion, malapposition) could be prevented by IVUS guidance.Aim of this meta-analysis of randomized controlled clinical trials (RCT) and high quality observational cohort studies (HQ-OBS) is to quantify the potential clinical benefit of intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) guidance in drug-eluting stents (DES) implantation.Methods
We performed an extensive literature search for full-text articles published in 2003–2013. The primary outcome was the rate of major adverse cardiac events (MACE) in RCT and HQ-OBS; secondary outcomes were death, myocardial infarction (MI), revascularization, thrombosis and post-procedural minimum lumen diameter (MLD). Fixed/random effect relative risks (RRs) or standardized mean difference (SMD) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were computed for the meta-analysis.Results
Thirty-four articles were retrieved from 268 found; of these 3 were RCT and 9 were HQ-OBS; 18,707 patients were enrolled, 1037 in RCT and 17,670 in OBS. Median follow-up was 20 months. IVUS guidance was associated with a significantly lower rate of MACE (RR = 0.80, 95% CI 0.71–0.89, p < 0.001), death (RR = 0.60, 95% CI 0.48–0.74, p < 0.001), MI (RR = 0.59, 95% CI 0.44–0.80, p = 0.001) and thrombosis (RR = 0.50, 95% CI 0.32–0.80, p = 0.007) and larger MLD (SMD = 0.15, 95% CI 0.03 to 0.27, p = 0.014), but not of revascularization (RR = 0.95, 95% CI 0.82–1.09, p = 0.75).Conclusions
In this meta-analysis, IVUS guidance in DES implantation appears to reduce MACE, mortality and MI, possibly by reducing thrombosis rather than restenosis rate. Patients at high risk for thrombosis might be identified as the best candidate for IVUS guidance. 相似文献15.

Background and aims
Low serum albumin level is reportedly associated with worse clinical outcomes in patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, associations between decreased serum albumin level and outcomes in non-CKD patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) remain unclear. Therefore, we aimed to evaluate the prognostic value of serum albumin concentrations in stable CAD patients with preserved renal function.Methods and results
We studied 1316 patients with CAD and preserved renal function (estimated glomerular filtration rate ≥60 mL/min/1.73 m2) who underwent their first PCI between 2000 and 2011 and had data available for pre-procedural serum albumin. Patients were assigned to quartiles based on pre-procedural albumin concentrations. The incidence of major adverse cardiac events (MACE), including all-cause death and non-fatal myocardial infarction, was evaluated. Mean albumin concentration was 4.1 ± 0.4 g/dL. During the median follow-up of 7.5 years, 181 events occurred (13.8%). Kaplan–Meier curves revealed that patients with decreased serum albumin concentrations showed a higher event rate for MACE (log-rank, p < 0.0001). Using the highest tertiles (>4.3 g/dL) as reference, adjusted hazard ratios were 1.97 (95% CI, 1.12–3.55), 1.77 (95% CI, 0.99–3.25), and 1.19 (95% CI, 0.68–2.15) for serum albumin concentrations of <3.9, 3.9–4.0, and 4.1–4.3 g/dL, respectively. Decreased serum albumin concentration was associated with MACE even after adjusting for other independent variables (HR, 2.21 per 1-g/dL decrease; 95% CI, 1.37–3.56, p = 0.001).Conclusion
Decreased serum albumin concentration independently predicted worse long-term prognosis in non-CKD patients after PCI. Pre-procedural serum albumin concentration could offer a useful predictor for patients with CAD and preserved renal function. 相似文献16.

Background
The 2014 Eighth Joint National Committee panel recommendations for management of high blood pressure (BP) recommend a systolic BP threshold for initiation of drug therapy and a therapeutic target of <150 mm Hg in those ≥60 years of age, a departure from prior recommendations of <140 mm Hg. However, it is not known whether this is an optimal choice, especially for the large population with coronary artery disease (CAD).Objectives
This study sought to evaluate optimal BP in patients ≥60 years of age.Methods
Patients 60 years of age or older with CAD and baseline systolic BP >150 mm Hg randomized to a treatment strategy on the basis of either atenolol/hydrochlorothiazide or verapamil-SR (sustained release)/trandolapril in INVEST (INternational VErapamil SR Trandolapril STudy) were categorized into 3 groups on the basis of achieved on-treatment systolic BP: group 1, <140 mm Hg; group 2, 140 to <150 mm Hg; and group 3, ≥150 mm Hg. Primary outcome was first occurrence of all-cause death, nonfatal myocardial infarction (MI), or nonfatal stroke. Secondary outcomes were all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, total MI, nonfatal MI, total stroke, nonfatal stroke, heart failure, or revascularization, tabulated separately. Outcomes for each group were compared in unadjusted and multiple propensity score–adjusted models.Results
Among 8,354 patients included in this analysis with an accumulated 22,308 patient-years of follow-up, 4,787 (57%) achieved systolic BP of <140 mm Hg (group 1), 1,747 (21%) achieved systolic BP of 140 to <150 mm Hg (group 2), and 1,820 (22%) achieved systolic BP of ≥150 mm Hg (group 3). In unadjusted models, group 1 had the lowest rates of the primary outcome (9.36% vs. 12.71% vs. 21.32%; p < 0.0001), all-cause mortality (7.92% vs. 10.07% vs. 16.81%; p < 0.0001), cardiovascular mortality (3.26% vs. 4.58% vs. 7.80%; p < 0.0001), MI (1.07% vs. 1.03% vs. 2.91%; p < 0.0001), total stroke (1.19% vs. 2.63% vs. 3.85%; p <0.0001), and nonfatal stroke (0.86% vs 1.89% vs 2.86%; p<0.0001) compared with groups 2 and 3, respectively. In multiple propensity score–adjusted models, compared with the reference group of <140 mm Hg (group 1), the risk of cardiovascular mortality (adjusted hazard ratio [HR]: 1.34; 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.01 to 1.77; p = 0.04), total stroke (adjusted HR: 1.89; 95% CI: 1.26 to 2.82; p = 0.002) and nonfatal stroke (adjusted HR: 1.70; 95% CI: 1.06 to 2.72; p = 0.03) was increased in the group with BP of 140 to <150 mm Hg, whereas the risk of primary outcome, all-cause mortality, cardiovascular mortality, total MI, nonfatal MI, total stroke, and nonfatal stroke was increased in the group with BP ≥150 mm Hg.Conclusions
In hypertensive patients with CAD who are ≥60 years of age, achieving a BP target of 140 to <150 mm Hg as recommended by the JNC-8 panel was associated with less benefit than the previously recommended target of <140 mm Hg. 相似文献17.

Background
Cardiac computed tomography angiography (CCTA) provides the simultaneous evaluation of the aortic valve, myocardium, and coronary arteries. In particular, aortic valve calcium score (AVCS) can be accurately measured on the same scanning sequence used to measure coronary artery calcification, with no additional cost or radiation exposure. We sought to evaluate the prognostic value of CCTA measures, including AVCS, in asymptomatic aortic stenosis (AS).Methods and results
Sixty-four initially asymptomatic patients with AS with a normal ejection fraction were prospectively enrolled and followed for median 29 (IQR = 18–50) months. During follow-up, 27 (42%) patients experienced cardiac events, including five cardiac deaths, eleven aortic valve replacements. Multivariate Cox proportional hazards analysis identified three CCTA measures as significant predictors of cardiac events: aortic valve area (per 0.1 cm2 decrease; hazard ratio [HR]: 1.19, 95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.05–1.34); multi-vessel obstructive coronary artery disease (HR: 2.84, 95% CI: 1.10–7.32); and AVCS (per 100; HR: 1.09, 95% CI: 1.04–1.15). Kaplan–Meier analysis showed that patients with AVCS greater than or equal to the median value of 723 had significantly worse outcomes than those with AVCS less than 723 (p < 0.0001). The C-statistic value for cardiac events substantially increased when these CCTA measures were added to clinical characteristics plus echocardiographic peak transaortic velocity (0.913 vs. 0.702, p < 0.001).Conclusions
In patients with asymptomatic AS, CCTA measures of valve area, coronary stenosis, and calcification severity provide independent and incremental prognostic value after accounting for the echocardiographic severity of stenosis. 相似文献18.

Objectives
We aimed to determine the role of multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) in prognosis of patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) by applying plaque characterization and whether obstructive versus non-obstructive plaque volume is a predictor of future cardiac events.Background
Vulnerable plaques may occur across the full spectrum of severity of stenosis, underlining that also non-obstructive lesions may contribute to coronary events.Methods
We included 1000 consecutive patients with intermediate pretest likelihood of CAD who were evaluated by 64-MDCT. Coronary artery calcium scoring, assessment of degree of coronary stenosis and quantitative assessment of plaque composition and volume were performed. The end point was cardiac death, acute coronary syndrome, or symptom-driven revascularization.Results
After a median follow-up of 16 months, 190 patients had suffered cardiac events. In a multivariate regression analysis for events, the total amount of non-calcified plaque (NCP) in non-obstructive lesions was independently associated with an increased hazard ratio for non-fatal MI (1.01–1.9/100-mm3 plaque volume increase, p = 0.039), total amount of obstructive plaque was independently associated with symptoms driven revascularization (p = 0.04) and coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) was independently associated with cardiac deaths (p = 0.001).Conclusion
MDCT is a non-invasive imaging modality with a prognostic utility in patients with known or suspected coronary artery disease by applying plaque characterization and it could identify vulnerable plaques by measuring the total amount of NCP in non-obstructive lesions which could be useful for detecting patients at risk of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) and guide further preventive therapeutic strategies. CACS was shown to be an independent predictor of mortality, while total amount of obstructive volume was shown to be an independent predictor of symptoms driven revascularization. 相似文献19.

Background
Although combined supine and prone acquisitions improve the detection of inferolateral obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD), the predictors of inaccurate detection of inferolateral ischemia have not been reported by using cadmium zinc telluride (CZT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI).Methods and results
Vasodilator stress 99mTc tetrofosmin MPI using CZT camera and coronary angiography was performed in 322 patients within an interval of 2 months. Prone MPI was performed immediately after supine MPI. Narrowing of the luminal diameter ≥ 75% was considered significant. The presence of an abnormality on both supine and prone images was considered significant. Combined supine and prone imaging, compared with supine-only quantification, was more specific (93% vs. 72%, respectively, p < 0.0001) and accurate (88% vs. 74%, p < 0.0001) without compromising sensitivity (82% vs. 68%, p = 0.10). The area under the curve for detecting inferolateral ischemia was 0.769 (95% CI 0.705–0.833) for supine imaging and 0.802 (95% CI 0.730–0.875) for combined supine and prone imaging (p < 0.05). Multivariable analysis revealed that previous inferolateral myocardial infarction was an independent predictor of a false diagnosis (odds ratio = 3.45, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.62–7.37, p < 0.001).Conclusions
Combined supine and prone quantitative CZT MPI enhances the detection of inferolateral CAD without adversely affecting its sensitivity. However, we recommend inferolateral ischemia be monitored in patients with a history of previous inferolateral MI because previous inferolateral MI is a predictor of inaccurate diagnosis. 相似文献20.
