摘要:
目的 通过比较全病变梯度冠状动脉电子计算机断层扫描血流储备分数（GlobalΔCT-FFR）与心肌血流量的关系，探讨GlobalΔCT-FFR在预测心肌血流异常方面的价值。 方法 回顾性纳入2019~2021年因疑似冠状动脉疾病行动态CT心肌灌注+冠状动脉CT血管造影“一站式”检查的患者76例共228支冠状动脉血管。采用Spearman相关分析GlobalΔCT-FFR与心肌血流量（MBF）的相关性。以MBF为参考标准，分别从患者水平和血管水平评价GlobalΔCT-FFR、CT-FFR和冠状动脉CT血管造影直径狭窄率（DS）对心肌血流异常的敏感度、特异性、诊断准确性、阳性预测值及阴性预测值，绘制ROC曲线并计算曲线下面积。 结果 在患者水平，GlobalΔCT-FFR与MBF呈中度负相关关系（r=-0.51，P＜0.05），CT-FFR与MBF呈弱正相关关系（r=0.33，P＜0.05）；在血管水平，GlobalΔCT-FFR与MBF呈中度负相关关系（r=-0.47，P＜0.05），CT-FFR与MBF呈弱正相关关系（r=0.39，P＜0.05）。在患者水平，GlobalΔCT-FFR、CT-FFR、DS的曲线下面积分别为0.82（95% CI：0.72~0.90，P＜0.05）、0.71（95% CI：0.59~0.81，P＜0.05）、0.65（95% CI：0.53~0.76，P＜0.05）；在血管水平，GlobalΔCT-FFR、CT-FFR、DS的ROC曲线下面积分别为0.87（95% CI：0.75~0.86，P＜0.05）、0.78（95% CI：0.72~0.83，P＜0.05）、0.71（95% CI：0.65~0.77，P＜0.05）。ROC曲线对比：在患者水平，GlobalΔCT-FFR诊断效能优于CT-FFR、DS（P=0.0471、P＜0.0001）；在血管水平，GlobalΔCT-FFR与CT-FFR、DS诊断效能的差异无统计学意义（P=0.5237、P=0.0530）。 结论 GlobalΔCT-FFR对心肌血流异常具有较好的诊断价值，有望成为心肌血流定量测量的替代指标。 Abstract:Objective To assess the predictive capability of GlobalΔCT-FFR in determining abnormal myocardial blood flow through an examination of the correlation between GlobalΔCT-FFR and myocardial blood flow. Methods A retrospective inclusion was conducted on a cohort of 76 patients who underwent dynamic computed tomographic myocardial perfusion + coronary computed tomographic angiography between 2019 and 2021, as a result of suspected coronary artery disease. The relationship between GlobalΔCT-FFR and myocardial blood flow (MBF) was assessed using Univariate Spearman correlation. We were assessed the sensitivity, specificity, diagnostic accuracy, positive predictive value, and negative predictive value of GlobalΔCT-FFR, CT-FFR and coronary computed tomographic angiography diameter stenosis (DS) for myocardial blood flow abnormalities at both per-patient and per-vessel level, utilizing MBF as a reference standard. The ROC curve was constructed, and the area under the curve (AUC) was calculated. Results At the per-patient level, there was a moderate negative correlation between GlobalΔCT-FFR and mean MBF (r=-0.51, P < 0.05), CT-FFR exhibited a weak positive correlation with mean MBF (r=0.33, P < 0.05). At the per-vessel level, GlobalΔCT-FFR showed a moderate negative correlation with mean MBF (r=-0.47, P < 0.05), CT-FFR demonstrated a weak positive correlation with mean MBF (r=0.39, P < 0.05). At the per-patient level, the AUC for GlobalΔCT-FFR, CT-FFR, and DS was found to be 0.82(95%CI: 0.72-0.90, P < 0.05), 0.71(95% CI: 0.59-0.81, P < 0.05) and 0.65(95% CI: 0.53-0.76, P < 0.05), respectively. At the per-vessel level, the AUC for GlobalΔCT-FFR, CT-FFR, and DS was determined to be 0.81(95% CI: 0.75-0.86, P < 0.05), 0.78(95% CI: 0.72-0.83, P < 0.05) and 0.71(95% CI: 0.65-0.77: P < 0.05), respectively. In the evaluation of ROC curves, GlobalΔCT-FFR exhibited superior performance compared to CT-FFR and DS in per-patient analysis (P=0.0471, P < 0.0001). In per-vessel analysis, GlobalΔCT-FFR demonstrated similar performance to CT-FFR and DS (P=0.5237, P=0.0530). Conclusion The diagnostic performance of GlobalΔCT-FFR in predicting abnormal myocardial blood flow has been confirmed, suggesting its potential as an alternative indicator for quantitatively measuring myocardial blood flow. -
