ABSTRACT
Background:
We aimed to investigate the diagnostic value of energy loss (EL) and baseline CT fractional flow reserve (CT-FFR) computed using computational fluid dynamics to predict functional progression of coronary stenosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods:
This single-center prospective study included 61 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (mean age, 61 years ±9 [SD]; 43 men) showing 20-70 % stenosis who underwent serial coronary CT performed at 2-year interval between October 2015 and March 2020. A mesh-free simulation was performed to calculate the CT-FFR and EL. Functional progression was defined as ≥ 0.05 decrease in CT-FFR on the second coronary CT. Models using baseline CT-FFR and EL were compared by analyzing the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.Results:
Of the 94 vessels evaluated, 25 vessels (27 %) showed functional progression. EL at distal stenosis (ELdis) of vessels with functional progression was higher than that of vessels without functional progression (27.6 W/m3 [interquartile range (IQR) 15.0, 53.0] vs. 5.7 W/m3 [IQR 2.3, 10.1], p < 0.001). Multivariable analysis showed that ELdis (per unit Ln(EL); odds ratio, 11.8; 95 % CI 4.0-34.9; p < 0.001) remained as a predictor of functional progression after adjustment for diameter stenosis and baseline CT-FFR. The area under the ROC curve using ELdis (0.89; 95 % CI 0.82-0.96) was higher than that using baseline CT-FFR (0.71; 95 % CI 0.59-0.83; p < 0.001).Conclusion:
When ELdis and baseline CT-FFR were considered, ELdis was a better predictor of functional progression of coronary stenosis.
