Article Cardiac & Cardiovascular Systems

Diagnostic performance of deep learning and computational fluid dynamics-based instantaneous wave-free ratio derived from computed tomography angiography

Jingyuan Zhang, Kun Xu, Yumeng Hu, Lin Yang, Xiaochang Leng, Hongfeng Jin, Yiming Tang, Xiaowei Liu, Chen Ye, Yitao Guo, Lei Wang, Jianjun Zhang, Yue Feng, Caiyun Mou, Lijiang Tang, Jianping Xiang, Changqing Du

Summary: AccuiFRct, a novel CT-iFR method based on deep learning and computational fluid dynamics, showed good correlation with invasive FFR and iFR, demonstrating its potential as a noninvasive tool for detecting ischemia-causing coronary lesions and aiding in clinical decision-making.

The reasons why fractional flow reserve and instantaneous wave-free ratio are similar using wave separation analysis

Soohong Min, Gwansuk Kang, Dong-Guk Paeng, Joon Hyouk Choi

Summary: The study aimed to predict wedge pressure using wave separation analysis and investigate its impact on FFR and iFR. Results showed high correlations between FFR and reconstructed FFR, as well as between iFR and reconstructed iFR. This suggests that FFR and iFR can be expressed as variations in trans-stenotic forward pressure derived from the same formula.

A high-fidelity geometric multiscale hemodynamic model for predicting myocardial ischemia

Jincheng Liu, Bao Li, Yanping Zhang, Liyuan Zhang, Suqin Huang, Hao Sun, Jian Liu, Xi Zhao, Mingzi Zhang, Wenxin Wang, Youjun Liu

Summary: This study proposed a high-fidelity geometric multiscale model (HFMM) to characterize coronary pressure and flow under the resting state, aiming to better predict myocardial ischemia using CT-iFR. Through prospective enrollment of 57 patients, it was found that CT-iFR had greater accuracy in identifying myocardial ischemia compared to CCTA and CT-FFR. Furthermore, the computational time of CT-iFR was faster.

Summary: This study aimed to assess the accuracy of the peanut sIgE to tIgE ratio in predicting clinical reactivity to peanut in adults. The results showed that there was no significant benefit in using the peanut sIgE to tIgE ratio over sIgE alone. Larger prospective studies are needed to confirm these findings.

Comparative analysis of instantaneous wave-free ratio and quantitative real-time myocardial contrast echocardiography for the assessment of myocardial perfusion

Li Liang, Yongxiang Zhu, Fangfang Li, Kai Guo, Shang Chang, Qian Li, Yaojun Zhang, Dongye Li

Summary: The field of coronary artery physiology is rapidly developing and changing the practice of interventional cardiology. Instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) has emerged as an alternative to fractional flow reserve for evaluating myocardial perfusion. This study demonstrates the correlation between iFR and myocardial perfusion parameters, as well as the high sensitivity and specificity of iFR in detecting myocardial microcirculation perfusion.

Pathophysiological factors contributing to fractional flow reserve and instantaneous wave-free ratio discordance

Benjamin Fogelson, Hassan Tahir, James Livesay, Raj Baljepally

Summary: The diagnostic accuracy and clinical benefits of instantaneous wave-free ratio (iFR) compared to fractional flow reserve (FFR) have been well-established. However, approximately 20% of measurements using iFR and FFR are found to be discordant. Recent studies have identified factors such as sex differences, age differences, bradycardia, and coronary artery stenosis location that contribute to this discordance. Additionally, dysfunction in the coronary artery microcirculation, particularly in diabetics and patients on hemodialysis, has been found to be a significant factor of discordance.

An algorithmic approach to balloon undilatable coronary lesions

Athanasios Rempakos, Spyridon Kostantinis, Bahadir Simsek, Judit Karacsonyi, Salman Allana, Mohaned Egred, Hani Jneid, Kambis Mashayekhi, Carlo Di Mario, Oleg Krestyaninov, Dmitrii Khelimski, Anastasios Milkas, Yader Sandoval, M. Nicholas Burke, Emmanouil S. S. Brilakis

Summary: Balloon undilatable lesions are lesions that cannot be expanded despite successful cross by a guidewire and a balloon. These lesions can be either de novo or in-stent. A systematic approach using various techniques such as high-pressure balloon inflation, plaque modification balloons, intravascular lithotripsy, very high-pressure balloon inflation, coronary atherectomy, laser coronary angioplasty, and extraplaque lesion crossing can effectively treat these lesions, increasing procedure efficiency, success, and safety.

Summary: Patients with ATTR cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR-CA) often experience high levels of anxiety and depression. Older patients, especially females, with more advanced disease are at a higher risk of developing an anxious or depressive disorder. It is important for physicians to take into consideration the psychological well-being of ATTR-CA patients and provide them with appropriate support to reduce disease burden and improve quality of life.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the impact of adverse childhood experiences (ACE) on rates and development of multimorbidity over three decades in adulthood. The results showed that the accumulation of psychosocial and childhood health ACEs were associated with progressively higher multimorbidity scores throughout the follow-up. All three grouped ACEs were associated with greater rates of accumulation and higher multimorbidity trajectories across adulthood.

Summary: Since the publication of the 2015 EAPCI consensus, there has been a significant increase in PCI performed in cases of severely calcified coronary artery disease. This has been driven by the growing need for interventions in elderly patients and the availability of new technologies. The current EAPCI clinical consensus statement provides comprehensive guidance on the management of heavily calcified coronary stenoses, including imaging assessment, tool and technique selection, and considerations for complications and training.

Acquired cardiovascular disease in adults with congenital heart disease

Summary: The rates of successful surgical repair and life expectancy for patients with congenital heart disease have significantly increased in recent decades. However, exposure to cardiovascular risk factors has led to a shift in the clinical trajectory of adult congenital heart disease, with an increasing burden of acquired cardiovascular disease, primarily atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Currently, comprehensive guidance for the prevention and management of acquired heart disease in adult congenital heart disease patients is lacking. This document provides an overview of acquired heart disease and offers guidance on ASCVD prevention for both specialists and non-specialists in adult congenital heart disease, aiming to reduce the cardiovascular burden in this growing population.

Is Height2.7 Appropriate for Indexation of Left Ventricular Mass in Healthy Adolescents? The Importance of Sex Differences

Hannah C. M. Taylor, Nishi Chaturvedi, George Davey Smith, Diana L. S. Ferreira, Abigail Fraser, Laura D. Howe, Alun D. Hughes, Debbie A. Lawlor, Nic J. Timpson, Chloe M. Park

Summary: This study investigated the appropriate allometric scaling relationships between left ventricular mass (LVM) and height, total lean mass, and body surface area in healthy adolescents. The results suggest that pooled data without adjustment for sex may introduce bias in allometric scaling estimates. Clinicians should consider body size, body composition, sex, and age when assessing left ventricular mass.

Pulse wave velocity during re-feeding and with weight gain in underweight female adolescents with anorexia nervosa

Lee D. Hudson, Hind Al-Khairulla, Matthew Maicoo, Mario Cortina Borja, Alicja Rapala, Russell Viner, Dasha Nicholls, Andrew Taylor, Vivek Muthurangu, Alun Hughes

Summary: This study found that Anorexia Nervosa (AN) causes harmful underweight and important cardiovascular acute complications, but less is known about longer-term cardiovascular risk. The study measured carotid femoral pulse wave velocity (PWV) in underweight young women with AN at baseline and weekly during refeeding and weight gain. The results showed that PWV decreased over time and was negatively associated with increasing BMI and calorific meal content. These findings suggest potential positive cardiovascular benefits for refeeding and weight gain in AN, supporting the importance of weight gain in underweight young women with AN.
