ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To find out whether there is any correlation between the fractional flow reserve (FFR) that indicates the severity of coronary artery disease (CAD), and the HbA1c value in non-diabetic patients. STUDYDESIGN:
Observational study. PLACE AND DURATION OF STUDY Department of Cardiology, Dicle University, Turkey, from September 2015 to November 2019.METHODOLOGY:
Patients who underwent elective FFR procedure were included in the study. There were two groups formed according to FFR lesion severity FFR <0.8 group (75 patients), FFR >0.8 group (39 patients). HbA1c was compared between the two groups. The relationship between categorical variables was examined with Pearson Chi-square and Fisher's Exact test. ROC (Receiver operating characteristic) analysis was performed for the HbA1c the cut-off value.RESULTS:
The two groups were similar in terms of mean age and male gender ratios (58.4±9.6 vs. 57.9 ± 10.8 years, p=0.794; 64% vs. 74.4%, respectively, p=0.262). HbA1c value was statistically higher in the group with FFR value <0.8 [(5.8 (IQR 5.7-6.0)] compared to the group with FFR value ≥0.8 [(5.5 (IQR 5.2-6.0, p = 0.002)]. The HbA1c cut-off value was determined as 5.55. The ideal HbA1c threshold value calculated by the Youden index had 88% sensitivity, and 53.85% specificity.CONCLUSION:
HbA1c, which shows the long-term glycemic index in non-diabetic individuals, is associated with the severity of CAD determined by the fractional flow reserve. Key Words Coronary artery disease, fractional flow reserve, HbA1c.
