ABSTRACT
AIMS:
Vessel-specific coronary artery calcification (CAC) is additive to global CAC for prognostic assessment. We assessed accuracy and prognostic implications of vessel-specific automated deep learning (DL) CAC analysis on electrocardiogram (ECG) gated and attenuation correction (AC) computed tomography (CT) in a large multi-centre registry. METHODS ANDRESULTS:
Vessel-specific CAC was assessed in the left main/left anterior descending (LM/LAD), left circumflex (LCX), and right coronary artery (RCA) using a DL model trained on 3000 gated CT and tested on 2094 gated CT and 5969 non-gated AC CT. Vessel-specific agreement was assessed with linear weighted Cohen's Kappa for CAC zero, 1-100, 101-400, and >400 Agatston units (AU). Risk of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) was assessed during 2.4 ± 1.4 years follow-up, with hazard ratios (HR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI). There was strong to excellent agreement between DL and expert ground truth for CAC in LM/LAD, LCX and RCA on gated CT [0.90 (95% CI 0.89 to 0.92); 0.70 (0.68 to 0.73); 0.79 (0.77 to 0.81)] and AC CT [0.78 (0.77 to 0.80); 0.60 (0.58 to 0.62); 0.70 (0.68 to 0.71)]. MACE occurred in 242 (12%) undergoing gated CT and 841(14%) of undergoing AC CT. LM/LAD CAC >400â AU was associated with the highest risk of MACE on gated (HR 12.0, 95% CI 7.96, 18.0, P < 0.001) and AC CT (HR 4.21, 95% CI 3.48, 5.08, P < 0.001).CONCLUSION:
Vessel-specific CAC assessment with DL can be performed accurately and rapidly on gated CT and AC CT and provides important prognostic information.Palabras clave
