Angiography-based index of microcirculatory resistance (AccuIMR) for the assessment of microvascular dysfunction in acute coronary syndrome and chronic coronary syndrome
BACKGROUND: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of AccuIMR, a newly proposed, pressure wire-free index, in identifying coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) among patients with acute coronary syndrome [including ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocard...

Sumario: | BACKGROUND: To assess the diagnostic accuracy of AccuIMR, a newly proposed, pressure wire-free index, in identifying coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) among patients with acute coronary syndrome [including ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) and non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI)] and chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). METHODS: A total of 163 consecutive patients (43 with STEMI, 59 with NSTEMI, and 61 with CCS), who underwent invasive coronary angiography (ICA) and for whom the index of microcirculatory resistance (IMR) was measured, were retrospectively enrolled at a single center. IMR measurements were made in 232 vessels. The AccuIMR based on computational fluid dynamics (CFD) was calculated from coronary angiography. The diagnostic performance of AccuIMR was assessed using wire-based IMR as a reference standard. RESULTS: AccuIMR correlated well with IMR (overall r=0.76, P<0.001; STEMI r=0.78, P<0.001; NSTEMI r=0.78, P<0.001; CCS r=0.75, P<0.001) and had good diagnostic performance in detecting abnormal IMR [overall diagnostic accuracy, sensitivity, and specificity were 94.83% (91.14% to 97.30%), 92.11% (78.62% to 98.34%), and 95.36% (91.38% to 97.86%), respectively]. Using a cutoff value of IMR >40 U for AccuIMR in STEMI and IMR >25 U in NSTEMI and CCS, the area under the receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve (AUC) of AccuIMR for predicting abnormal IMR value was 0.917 (0.874 to 0.949) in all patients, 1.000 (0.937 to 1.000) in patients with STEMI, 0.941 (0.867 to 0.980) in patients with NSTEMI, and 0.918 (0.841 to 0.966) in patients with CCS. CONCLUSIONS: The use of AccuIMR in the evaluation of microvascular diseases could provide valuable information and potentially increase the application of physiological assessment for microcirculation in patients with ischemic heart disease. |
