Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
Guidelines recommend secondary ischemia assessment following a coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) with suspected obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Coronary CTA-derived quantitative flow ratio (CT-QFR) is an on-site technique performed on acquired CTA images that estimates the functional severity of a coronary stenosis. However, CT-QFR measurements are available throughout the coronary vessel with no clear recommendations as to which specific values should be used for identifying obstructive CAD, e.g. most distal or lesion-specific values.
Purpose
First, to investigate the feasibility of CT-QFR and the correlation and agreement with invasive fractional flow reserve (FFR). Secondly, to compare the diagnostic performance of distal versus lesion-specific CT-QFR for identifying obstructive CAD defined by invasive coronary angiography (ICA) with FFR.
Methods
A total of 1732 prospectively included patients with symptoms suggestive of CAD referred for CTA were included. All patients with ≥50% diameter stenosis (DS) on CTA were subsequently referred for ICA with conditional FFR in lesions with 30–89%DS. Obstructive CAD was defined by ICA as FFR ≤0.80 or high-grade stenosis by visual assessment (≥90%DS). A blinded analysis of CT-QFR was performed in patients referred to ICA with measurements at the distal end of a vessel (distal CT-QFR) and 1 cm distal to stenotic lesions on CTA (lesion-specific). CT-QFR ≤0.80 was defined as abnormal. For correlation analyses to invasive FFR, CT-QFR was assessed corresponding to the position of the invasive pressure sensor.
Results
In total, 445/1732 (25%) patients had suspected obstructive CAD at CTA and underwent subsequent ICA. CT-QFR analysis was feasible in 423/445 (95%) patients. CT-QFR correlated (Pearson's rho 0.54, p<0.001) and agreed (mean difference –0.02±0.09) to FFR with CT-QFR overestimating FFR (Fig. 1). Obstructive CAD was identified in 190/423 (44%) patients by ICA. Distal and lesion-specific CT-QFR classified 196 (46%) and 171 (40%) patients as abnormal, respectively. Areas under the receiver-operating characteristic curves for distal versus lesion-specific CT-QFR were similar (0.86 (95% CI: 0.82–0.89) vs. 0.86 (0.82–0.90), p=0.80). Sensitivities for distal and lesion-specific CT-QFR were 78% (95% CI: 71–84) vs. 74% (67–80), p=0.01, respectively, and specificities 79% (95% CI: 74–84) vs. 87% (82–91), p<0.01, respectively. Distal and lesion-specific CT-QFR had similar diagnostic accuracy (79 (95% CI: 75–83), vs. 81 (77–85), p=0.07) (Fig. 2).
Conclusion
In patients with suspected obstructive CAD on CTA, non-invasive estimation of FFR using CT-QFR is feasible with moderate correlation and good agreement with invasive FFR. Overall diagnostic performance of distal and lesion-specific values for discriminating obstructive CAD by invasive FFR are similar. The use of CT-QFR could therefore potentially reduce the need for referral to invasive angiography after CTA.

Abstract
Abstract
Introduction
In patients with suspected obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) on coronary computed tomography (CTA), guidelines endorse second-line selective testing for hemodynamic evaluation of suspected CAD. A variety of non-invasive modalities are available, and myocardial perfusion imaging with Rubidium-82 positron emission tomography (PET) is an established method with high diagnostic performance. Recently, an on-site method estimating computed tomography-derived quantitative flow ratio (CT-QFR) showed promising results for discriminating obstructive CAD. However, no study has compared the diagnostic performances of PET and CT-QFR.
Purpose
To assess a possible non-inferiority of CT-QFR compared to PET in patients with suspected obstructive CAD at CTA using invasive coronary angiography (ICA) with fractional flow reserve (FFR) as reference.
Methods
Patients (n=1732, 57% males, age 59±9.5) referred on a clinical indication with symptoms suggestive of obstructive CAD underwent routine CTA. Patients with ≥50% diameter stenosis (DS) on CTA were referred for PET and subsequent ICA with FFR. CT-QFR was analyzed post-hoc blinded to PET and ICA results.
Abnormal CT-QFR was defined as CT-QFR ≤0.80 in any vessel with a diameter ≥1.5mm. An independent core-lab evaluated PET scans as abnormal/normal with optional analyst-dependent application of pre-specified criteria; summed stress score of ≥4 in ≥2 contiguous segments, vessel-specific myocardial blood flow (MBF) <2.00 ml/g/min, global myocardial blood flow reserve ≤1.8, and/or transient ischemic dilatation ratio >1.13. Obstructive CAD was defined as ICA with FFR ≤0.80 or high-grade stenosis (≥90% DS).
Results
In total, 445/1732 patients (25%) had suspected obstructive CAD on CTA of whom 400/445 patients (90%) underwent subsequent PET and ICA. CT-QFR was successfully analysed in 383/400 (96%) patients classifying 174/383 (45%) patients as having disease. In comparison, PET classified 130/383 (34%) patients as having disease. In total, obstructive CAD by ICA with FFR was identified in 162 (42%) patients.
There was no significant difference in area under the receiver-operating characteristic curves for CT-QFR compared to the best performing PET metric (lowest vessel-specific MBF); 0.84 (95% CI 0.80–0.89) vs. 0.81 (0.77–0.85), p=0.19)) (Fig. 1). Overall diagnostic accuracy of CT-QFR versus PET was similar (78% (95% CI 74–82) vs. 77% (72–81), p=0.70. Sensitivities for CT-QFR and PET were 78% (71–84) and 63% (55–70), p<0.01, respectively, and specificities 78% (72–84) and 87% (82–91), p=0.01, respectively (Fig. 2). Three-vessel or left main disease on ICA was correctly identified in 30/31 patients by both CT-QFR and PET.
Conclusion
In patients with suspected obstructive CAD by CTA, second-line CT-QFR was non-inferior to PET for discriminating obstructive CAD by invasive FFR; Although diagnostic accuracy was similar, CT-QFR demonstrated higher sensitivity while PET showed higher specificity

Abstract
Sortilin, an intracellular sorting receptor, has been identified as a cardiovascular risk factor in the general population. Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) are highly susceptible to develop cardiovascular complications such as calcification. However, specific CKD-induced posttranslational protein modifications of sortilin and their link to cardiovascular calcification remain unknown. To investigate this, we examined two independent CKD cohorts for carbamylation of circulating sortilin and detected increased carbamylated sortilin lysine residues in the extracellular domain of sortilin with kidney function decline using targeted mass spectrometry. Structure analysis predicted altered ligand binding by carbamylated sortilin, which was verified by binding studies using surface plasmon resonance measurement, showing an increased affinity of interleukin 6 to in vitro carbamylated sortilin. Further, carbamylated sortilin increased vascular calcification in vitro and ex vivo that was accelerated by interleukin 6. Imaging by mass spectrometry of human calcified arteries revealed in situ carbamylated sortilin. In patients with CKD, sortilin carbamylation was associated with coronary artery calcification, independent of age and kidney function. Moreover, patients with carbamylated sortilin displayed significantly faster progression of coronary artery calcification than patients without sortilin carbamylation. Thus, carbamylated sortilin may be a risk factor for cardiovascular calcification and may contribute to elevated cardiovascular complications in patients with CKD.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Validation studies of the 2019 European Society of Cardiology pre-test probability model (ESC-PTP) for coronary artery disease (CAD) report that 35–40% of patients have intermediate pre-test risk (ESC-PTP 5-<15%). A clear strategy for deferral or referral in this group has not been established. Stratification tools with a high negative predictive value (NPV) are especially wanted to improve pre-test risk estimates.
Acoustic detections of coronary stenosis are a new technology which could potentially be useful to supplement PTP stratification. One of the devices, the CADScor®System, has been shown to down-classify >40% of patients to low risk without increasing CAD prevalence. However, the clinical utility of using the CADScor algorithm (version (V)3.1) has not be validated.
Purpose
1) To validate the diagnostic performance of the CADScor®System (V3.1), and 2) to study the reclassification potential of a clinical likelihood strategy by ESC-PTP estimation supplemented by a CAD-score.
Methods
In total, 1732 patients without known CAD but with symptoms suggestive hereof underwent coronary CTA as a first-line diagnostic test. Based on an interview prior to coronary CTA, the ESC-PTP model was applied and sound recordings were performed using the acoustic CADScor® System. Patients with a suspected >50% diameter stenosis in any coronary segment at coronary CTA were referred to investigation with Invasive angiography (ICA) with measurement of Fractional flow reserve (FFR).
The ESC-PTP risk estimation was divided according to the recommended cut-offs of <5%, 5-<15% and >15% PTP of obstructive CAD. Haemodynamically obstructive CAD was defined as: (1) FFR value <0.80, (2) luminal diameter stenosis reduction >90%, or (3) luminal diameter stenosis reduction ≥50% if FFR was indicated but not performed. A predefined cut-off value of 20 was used for CAD-score values to rule-out CAD.
Results
A suspected stenosis was found in 439 patients (26%) after coronary CTA. The follow up with ICA with FFR showed significant stenoses in 198 patients (12%).
In the entire cohort using the ≤20 CAD-score cutoff for CAD rule-out, sensitivity was 85.3% (95% CI 79.5–89.9%), specificity was 40.3% (95% CI 37.8–42.9%), the PPV was 5.9% (95% CI 13.8–18.3%)), and the NPV was 95.4% (95% CI 93.4–96.9%). Hence, the disease prevalence of obstructive CAD was 4.6% in the ruled-out patients.
Applying the ≤20 CAD-score cutoff for CAD rule-out in intermediate risk patients (ESC-PTP 5-<15%) a total of 316 patients (48%) were down-classified to low risk with an obstructive CAD prevalence of 3.5%.
Conclusion
Having high NPV, the CADscor holds excellent rule-out power. Interestingly, the CADscor has reclassification properties in intermediate CAD risk patients where almost 50% can be deferred form further testing without increasing obstructive CAD risk. Thus, the CADscor can supplement clinical assessment to guide decisions on the need for further testing.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Low socioeconomic position (SEP) is associated with shorter life expectancy and one of the main drivers is an increase in cardiovascular deaths. A higher prevalence of risk factors only partly explains the complex multifactorial pathogenesis. The aim of this study was to investigate the association between SEP and the development of coronary artery disease (CAD) assessed as calcium score (CACS) at coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) as well as stenosis at downstream invasive coronary angiography (ICA) in a population presenting with symptoms suggestive of chronic coronary syndrome (CCS). A secondary aim was to establish whether SEP affects men and women differently.
Methods
We included 50,561 patients (Mean age 57.35±11.50, 53.7% women) from the Western Denmark Heart Registry (WDHR) with no previous CAD undergoing CCTA from 2008–2019 for suspected CCS. ICA was conducted in patients where obstructive CAD was not excluded at CCTA. Outcome measures was level of CACS and haemodynamically significant stenosis at ICA defined as either fractional flow reserve <0.80 or visually assed diameter stenosis of ≥50% stenosis. Odds Ratio of haemodynamically significant stenosis at ICA was calculated using multiple logistic regression and models adjusted for risk factors (smoking, medical treatment for hypertension, medical treatment for high cholesterol, diabetes and family history of CAD). Information on SEP was obtained from national registries. We included mean individual income at age 30–60 or until CCTA (quintiles); and length of education (<10 years, 10–13 years or >13 years). Information on risk factors was obtained from the WDHR registry.
Results
Mean number of risk factors are presented in each educational group in Figure 1. Median CACS for women with <10 years of education is 2 [0–82] vs. 0 [0–15] for women with >13 years of education (p<0.001). For men <10 years of education median CACS is 10 [0–143] vs. 8 [0–118] for men with >13 years of education (p=0.05) (Figure 1). Mean number of risk factors are presented at each level of income in Figure 2. For women with low income median CACS was 6 [0–103] vs. 0 [0–3] for women with high income (p<0.001). For men with low income median CACS is 8 [0–144] vs. 5 [0–105] for men with high income (p=0.002) (Figure 2). The odds ratio (OR) of a stenosis at downstream ICA was 1.47 (p=0.004) for women with <10 years of education vs. >13 years of education and 1.17 for men (p=0.122). OR of stenosis at ICA was 2.40 (p<0.001) for women with low income (1 quintile) using high income (5 quintile) as reference and 1.12 for men (p=0.321).
Conclusion
In de-Novo patients referred for CAD rule-out both coronary calcium score and the prevalence of stenosis at ICA is strongly correlated to low income and short education. The correlation seems to be stronger in women compared to men and calls for further research into the mechanism behind low SEP and atherosclerosis.

Abstract
Abstract
Background
Genetic risk scores (GRSs) based on risk variants identified from genome-wide association studies (GWASs) predict coronary artery disease (CAD) risk. However, it is unknown whether the GRS is associated with coronary plaque burden or specific high-risk plaque features responsible for the clinical disease onset.
Purpose
To investigate if a GRS is associated with coronary plaque burden and specific plaque characteristics, in patients with suspected stable CAD referred for coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA).
Methods
We consecutively included and genotyped 1645 patients undergoing coronary CTA. Using LDPred, a previously validated GRS was calculated as the weighted sum of the number of CAD risk variants identified from the CARDIoGRAMplusC4D GWAS meta-analysis. Plaques were evaluated using an 18-segment model and characterized by stenosis severity (0%, 1–49%, 50–69%, 70–100%) and composition (calcified (>80% calcified), mixed-calcified (50–80% calcified), mixed-soft (20–50% calcified), or soft (<20% calcified)). The segment stenosis score and the coronary artery calcium score (CACS) were used as measures of plaque burden. Multivariate regression models were used to assess the effect per standard deviation (SD) of the GRS with adjustment for age, sex, hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, BMI, chest pain symptoms, and active smoking.
Results
For each SD increase in the GRS, the segment stenosis score increased with 49% (p=8.6e-27) and CACS increased with 110% (p=2.3e-24). The GRS was associated with a higher risk of plaque stenosis >50% (OR: 1.74, p=3.2e-15), calcified (OR: 1.65, p=3.0e-16), mixed-calcified (OR: 1.64, p=1.5e-8), mixed-soft (OR: 1.44, p=1.6e-6), and soft plaques (OR: 1.40, p=3.0e-6), and all coronary vessels were more often affected with plaques (all p-values <1.0e-4).
When analyzing the plaque characteristics (3007 plaques in 849 patients), the GRS was associated with stenosis severity (OR per severity category: 1.15 (p=0.005), but not with extent of calcification, proximal location, or presence in any of the major coronary vessels (all p-values >0.05).
GRS and Plaque burden
Conclusion
The GRS was strongly associated with the extent and severity of CAD at coronary CTA, but not any specific plaque characteristics per se. The results may suggest that polygenic risk based on large CAD-GWAS increases CAD risk through increased coronary plaque burden rather than specific plaque features.

Abstract
Background
Genetic risk scores (GRSs), based on variants identified in genome-wide association studies (GWAS), have been shown to predict risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). However, the clinical potential remains unknown.
Purpose
To investigate whether a GRS improves discrimination of hemodynamically obstructive CAD beyond the CAD Consortium scores and coronary artery calcium score (CACS) in patients referred for coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA).
Methods
We consecutively included and genotyped 1645 patients undergoing CACS scoring and coronary CTA on a suspicion of CAD. Using LDPred, a recently validated GRS was calculated as the weighted sum of the number of CAD risk variants identified from the CARDIoGRAMplusC4D GWAS meta-analysis. Patients with a ≥50% stenosis on CTA further underwent invasive coronary angiography (ICA) with fractional flow reserve (FFR). Hemodynamically obstructive CAD was defined as a visual ICA stenosis >90%, FFR <0.80, or a quantitative coronary analysis stenosis >50% if FFR was not feasible. Discrimination was evaluated by receiver-operating characteristics.
Results
Median age was 57 (interquartile range 50–64) years and 799 (49%) were males. Hemodynamically obstructive CAD was present in 14 (4%) with a low GRS (<20th percentile), 91 (9%) with an intermediate GRS (20th–80th percentile) and 53 (16%) with a high GRS (>80th percentile) (p<0.0001). Adding the GRS improved the area under the receiver-operating curve (AUC) on top of the CAD Consortium basic score (from 0.67 to 0.72, p=0.0052), and the CAD Consortium clinical score (0.70 to 0.74, p=0.0084), but not on top of the CAD Consortium clinical score + CACS (0.85 to 0.86, p=0.30). Improvement in discrimination on top of the CAD Consortium scores was predominantly driven by females ≤57 years (CAD Consortium basic score ± GRS: 0.60 to 0.78, p=0.0004; CAD Consortium clinical score ± GRS: 0.63 to 0.78, p=0.0007). The GRS did not improve discrimination in any subgroups including CACS (CAD Consortium clinical score + CACS ± GRS: all p-values >0.05).
Conclusion
A GRS improves discrimination of hemodynamically obstructive CAD beyond CAD consortium scores, particularly in young women. However, the additive discriminative value is attenuated in models including CACS.

Abstract
Patients with diabetes mellitus have worse outcomes after percutaneous coronary intervention than patients without diabetes mellitus. We compared the risk of stent thrombosis, myocardial infarction, death, and target lesion revascularization in diabetic and nondiabetic patients after implantation of drug-eluting stents or bare metal stents. In the Western Denmark Heart Registry, 12,347 consecutive patients (1,575 with and 10,772 without diabetes) were identified and followed up for 2 years. The 2-year risk of definite stent thrombosis was 0.52% in patients with diabetes mellitus and 0.71% in nondiabetic patients (adjusted relative risk [RR] 0.74, 95% confidence interval [CI] 0.41 to 1.34, p = 0.321). The 2-year risk of myocardial infarction was greater in the diabetic patients (6.9%) than in the nondiabetic patients (3.6%; adjusted RR 1.96, 95% CI 1.58 to 2.43; p <0.001). The all-cause 2-year mortality rate was almost twice as great for the diabetic patients compared to the nondiabetic patients (12.4% vs 6.7%; adjusted RR 1.91, 95% CI 1.63 to 2.23; p <0.001). The 2-year risk of target lesion revascularization was 8.5% in the diabetic patients and 6.8% in the nondiabetic patients (adjusted RR 1.28, 95% CI 1.10 to 1.49; p <0.001). In conclusion, 2 years after drug-eluting stent or bare metal stent implantation, diabetic patients had a greater risk than nondiabetic patients of myocardial infarction and death. Drug-eluting stent treatment reduced the risk of target lesion revascularization compared to bare metal stent treatment, regardless of diabetes status.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES The aim of the study was to examine outcomes subsequent to implantation of drug-eluting stents (DES) and bare-metal stents (BMS). BACKGROUND Use of DES might be associated with increased risk of stent thrombosis (ST), myocardial infarction (MI), and death. METHODS From January 2002 through June 2005, data from all percutaneous coronary interventions in western Denmark were prospectively recorded in the Western Denmark Heart Registry; 12,395 consecutive patients (17,152 lesions) treated with stent implantation were followed for 15 months. Data on death and MI were ascertained from the national databases. The Academic Research Consortium definition of ST was used. RESULTS The DES were implanted in 3,548 patients (5,422 lesions) and BMS were implanted in 8,847 patients (11,730 lesions). Definite, probable, or possible ST was found in 190 (2.15%) patients in the BMS group and in 64 (1.80%) patients in the DES. The risk of definite ST was similar in the 2 groups (DES: 0.65%; BMS: 0.61%). Very late definite ST (between 12 and 15 months after implantation) occurred more frequently in patients receiving DES (hazard ratio [HR] 10.93, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.27 to 93.76). Also, the risk of MI between 12 and 15 months after implantation was higher in the DES group (HR 4.00, 95% CI 2.06 to 7.79). Mortality was similar in the 2 groups. Target lesion revascularization was reduced by 43% in patients treated with DES (HR 0.57, 95% CI 0.48 to 0.67). CONCLUSIONS The minor risk of ST and MI within 15 months after implantation of DES seems unlikely to outweigh the benefit of these stents.
