ABSTRACT
To evaluate the differential associations of high-risk plaque characteristics (HRPC) with resting or hyperemic physiologic indexes (instantaneous wave-free ratio [iFR] or fractional flow reserve [FFR]), a total of 214 vessels from 127 patients with stable angina or acute coronary syndrome who underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and invasive physiologic assessment were investigated. HPRC were classified into quantitative (minimal luminal area < 4 mm2 or plaque burden ≥ 70%) and qualitative features (low attenuation plaque, positive remodeling, napkin ring sign, or spotty calcification). Vessels with FFR ≤ 0.80 or iFR ≤ 0.89 had significantly higher proportions of HRPC than those with FFR > 0.80 or iFR > 0.89, respectively. FFR was independently associated with both quantitative and qualitative HRPC, but iFR was only associated with quantitative HRPC. Both FFR and iFR were significantly associated with the presence of ≥ 3 HRPC, and FFR demonstrated higher discrimination ability than iFR (AUC 0.703 vs. 0.648, P = 0.045), which was predominantly driven by greater discriminating ability of FFR for quantitative HRPC (AUC 0.832 vs. 0.744, P = 0.005). In conclusion, both FFR and iFR were significantly associated with CCTA-derived HRPC. Compared with iFR, however, FFR was independently associated with the presence of qualitative HRPC and showed a higher predictive ability for the presence of ≥ 3 HRPC.
