ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:
Stress myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) is a well-established diagnostic and prognostic tool for coronary artery disease (CAD). However, fixed and/or reversible stress MPI defects vary considerably among patients with CAD. The usefulness of stress MPI and baseline clinical factors as independent predictors of cardiovascular events in patients with prior CAD were assessed. METHODS ANDRESULTS:
Stress MPI was performed in 354 patients with prior CAD. Their mean age was 71 years; the mean duration from first revascularization and/or myocardial infarction (MI) onset until stress MPI was 7.1 years; and the mean follow-up period was 34 months. Cardiovascular events were observed in 100 patients (28%), and were categorized as cardiac-related death, non-fatal MI, unstable angina, heart failure and late (>2 months from stress MPI) coronary revascularization. Multivariate Cox regression analysis revealed that peripheral arterial disease (hazard ratio [HR]=2.95; P<0.001), current smoking (HR=2.36; P=0.006), chronic kidney disease (HR=2.15; P<0.001), left ventricular ejection fraction (HR=0.98; P=0.017), and grade of myocardial ischemia assessed by stress MPI (HR=1.14; P=0.007) were independent and significant predictors of cardiovascular events.CONCLUSIONS:
In patients with prior CAD, baseline clinical factors and grade of myocardial ischemia assessed by stress MPI results are significant predictors of cardiovascular events.
