Abstract

Background: A considerable number of patients with angina undergo invasive coronary angiography, which might reveal non-obstructive coronary arteries (ANOCA). In this setting, they might have coronary microvascular disease (CMD). Its prevalence significantly varies in the literature. This systematic review aims to document the prevalence of CMD over time according to the diagnostic modalities. Methods: A systematic literature review was conducted using PubMed, the Cochrane Library, and Embase, covering publications from inception to 1 May 2024. Among 1471 identified articles, 297 full-text articles were assessed for eligibility. All studies reporting the prevalence of CMD in ANOCA patients based on invasive coronary artery (ICA), positron emission tomography–computed tomography (PET-CT), transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), or cardiac magnetic resonance (CMR) were included. Results: The review included 53 studies (published between 1998 and 2024), encompassing a total of 16,602 patients. Of these studies, 23 used ICA, 15 used PET-CT, 8 used TTE, and 7 used CMR. A statistically significant increase in CMD prevalence over time was observed across all diagnostic modalities (p < 0.05), except for PET-CT, which showed a consistent and stable prevalence over time. Notably, the prevalence rates from all of the diagnostic methods converged towards the 50% prevalence detected by PET-CT. Conclusions: The prevalence of CMD in patients with ANOCA is subject to debate. However, the current data suggest that regardless of the diagnostic method used, the most recent studies tend to converge towards a prevalence value of 50%, which has been consistently reported by PET-CT from the beginning.

Abstract

Background: Diffuse coronary artery disease (CAD) impacts the safety and efficacy of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Pathophysiological CAD patterns can be quantified using fractional flow reserve (FFR) pullbacks incorporating the pullback pressure gradient (PPG) calculation. This study aimed to establish the capacity of PPG to predict optimal revascularisation and procedural outcomes. Methods: This prospective, investigator-initiated, single-arm, multicentre study enrolled patients with at least one epicardial lesion with an FFR ≤ 0.80 scheduled for PCI. Manual FFR pullbacks were employed to calculate PPG. The primary outcome of optimal revascularisation was defined as a post-PCI FFR ≥ 0.88. Results: 993 patients with 1044 vessels were included. The mean FFR was 0.68 ± 0.12, PPG 0.62 ± 0.17, and post-PCI FFR 0.87 ± 0.07. PPG was significantly correlated with the change in FFR after PCI (r=0.65, 95% CI 0.61-0.69, p<0.001) and demonstrated excellent predicted capacity for optimal revascularisation (AUC 0.82, 95% CI 0.79-0.84, p<0.001). Conversely, FFR alone did not predict revascularisation outcomes (AUC 0.54, 95% CI 0.50-0.57). PPG influenced treatment decisions in 14% of patients, redirecting them from PCI to alternative treatment modalities. Periprocedural myocardial infarction occurred more frequently in patients with low PPG (<0.62) compared to those with focal disease (OR 1.71, 95% CI: 1.00-2.97). Conclusions: Pathophysiological CAD patterns distinctly affect the safety and effectiveness of PCI. The PPG showed an excellent predictive capacity for optimal revascularisation and demonstrated added value compared to a FFR measurement.

Abstract

© Europa Digital & Publishing 2023. All rights reserved, Significant coronary artery disease (CAD) is a frequent finding in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI), and the management of these two conditions becomes of particular importance with the extension of the procedure to younger and lower-risk patients. Yet, the preprocedural diagnostic evaluation and the indications for treatment of significant CAD in TAVI candidates remain a matter of debate. In this clinical consensus statement, a group of experts from the European Association of Percutaneous Cardiovascular Interventions (EAPCI) in collaboration with the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Working Group on Cardiovascular Surgery aims to review the available evidence on the topic and proposes a rationale for the diagnostic evaluation and indications for percutaneous revascularisation of CAD in patients with severe aortic stenosis undergoing transcatheter treatment. Moreover, it also focuses on commissural alignment of transcatheter heart valves and coronary re-access after TAVI and redo-TAVI.

Abstract

Background/Objectives: Among patients with suspected severe aortic stenosis (AS), discordance between effective orifice area (EOA) and transvalvular gradients is frequent and requires a multiparametric workup including flow assessment and calcium-scoring to confirm true severe AS. The aim of this study was to assess direct planimetry, energy loss index (Eli) and dimensionless index (DI) as stand-alone parameters to identify non-severe AS in discordant cases. Methods: In this prospective cohort study, we included consecutive AS patients > 70 years with EOA < 1.0 cm2 referred for valve replacement between 2014 and 2017. AS severity was retrospectively reassessed using the multiparametric work-up recommended in the 2021 ESC/EACTS guidelines. DI and ELi were calculated, and valve area was measured by direct planimetry on transesophageal echocardiography. Results: A total of 101 patients (mean age 82 y; 57% male) were included. Discordance between EOA and gradients was observed in 46% and non-severe AS found in 24% despite an EOA < 1 cm2. Valve planimetry performed poorly, with an area under the ROC curve (AUC) of 0.64. At a cut-off value of >0.82 cm2, sensitivity and specificity to identify non-severe AS were 67 and 66%, respectively. DI and ELi showed a higher diagnostic accuracy, with an AUC of 0.77 and 0.76, respectively. Cut-off values of >0.24 and >0.6 cm2/m2 identified non-severe AS, with a high specificity of 79% and 91%, respectively. Conclusions: Almost one in four patients with EOA < 1 cm2 had non-severe AS according to guideline-recommended multiparametric assessment. Direct valve planimetry revealed poor diagnostic accuracy and should be interpreted with caution. Usual prognostic cut-off values for DI > 0.24 and ELI > 0.6 cm2/m2 identified non-severe AS with high specificity and should therefore be included in the assessment of low-gradient AS.

Abstract

Introduction: Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is vital, but claustrophobia affects 10% of patients. The metaverse, an immersive virtual and augmented reality environment, has healthcare potential. We present a metaverse-based CMR simulation for claustrophobic patients. Methods: Three cardiomyopathy patients, initially CMR-refusing due to claustrophobia, received training via a virtual reality headset in a metaverse-based virtual hospital. Training efficacy was assessed through questionnaires and anxiety scales. Results: The patients successfully completed metaverse-based training, adapting to the CMR simulation. On CMR day, all entered the machine without issues and with reduced anxiety. Patients found the training useful, suggesting platform familiarization. Discussion: Our study demonstrates the metaverse's potential in alleviating CMR-related claustrophobia. The immersive nature enhances patient preparation, although usability improvements are needed. Further research should compare this approach with alternatives. Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) is a vital tool for diagnosing heart problems, but some patients cannot undergo it due to claustrophobia. To address this, researchers are exploring new methods like hypnosis and simulations. One emerging technology, the metaverse, a 3D virtual reality (VR) environment, is being tested in healthcare. This study created a metaverse-based simulation to help claustrophobic patients prepare for CMR. Three patients with heart issues were given VR headsets to access a virtual hospital in the metaverse. Inside, they were trained for CMR step by step, experiencing the process and sounds realistically. Training was done 1 week, 3 days, and 1 day before the real CMR. Anxiety levels were measured. All patients completed the virtual training without issues. During the first simulations, some could not complete entering the virtual CMR machine due to anxiety. However, by the final simulation, all succeeded. On CMR day, all completed the scan without problems, and their anxiety levels decreased significantly from the initial training. Patients found the training helpful, but the platform's usability needed improvement. The study demonstrates that metaverse-based simulations can help patients overcome claustrophobia to successfully undergo CMR. This technology holds promise for simulating medical situations, easing patient fears, and improving preparation. However, further work is needed to make it user-friendly and accessible without assistance. This study encourages more research to assess the usefulness of the metaverse for broader patient groups, comparing it with other methods like hypnosis or sedation. Metaverse VR eases CMR claustrophobia! Tech innovation reduces anxiety and boosts scan success. Exciting clinical support tool. More research ahead! #HealthTech #Innovation Article highlights Metaverse-based cardiac magnetic resonance imaging simulation The study explored using a metaverse-based simulation to help claustrophobic patients with cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR). Virtual reality headsets and a metaverse hospital were used to simulate the CMR process, aiming to assess its feasibility, efficacy, and usability. Positive patient response Three patients with claustrophobia underwent metaverse-based CMR simulation before the actual exam. All patients completed simulations successfully, and on the exam day, they completed CMR without issues. Patients reported reduced anxiety, indicating the potential benefits of the approach. Potential of metaverse technology The study demonstrates how metaverse simulations can alleviate anxiety and improve patient readiness for CMR scans. While the simulation shows promise, further refinement of user-friendliness is needed. The technology's applicability across diverse patient groups compared with alternative methods warrants future investigation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
