NCT04792047

Brief Summary

This study aimed to investigate the relationship between CCTA-based pericoronary inflammation and plaque features as well as local immune-inflammatory biomarkers in ACS patients. It is hypothesized that perivascular FAI might serve as a reliable sensor of coronary immune-inflammatory disorder, and closely related to the plaque vulnerability.

Outcome Measures

Primary Outcomes (1)

  • Frequency of HRP by CCTA

    HRP features were defined according to previous studies as follow: low-attenuation plaque (LAP), mean CT number \<30 HU; positive remodeling(PR), remodeling index, \>1.1; spotty calcification(SC), intraplaque calcification ≤3 mm; Napkin-ring sign, low intraplaque attenuation surrounded by a higher attenuation rim.

    coronary CTA analysis, before angiography

Secondary Outcomes (1)

  • Distribution of plaque composition by Qangio

    coronary CTA analysis, before angiography

Other Outcomes (2)

  • Concentration of local immune-inflammatory cytokines

    blood were taken immediately after the diagnostic angiography

  • Concentration of local T subset

    blood were taken immediately after the diagnostic angiography

Study Arms (2)

Lesions with perivasular FAI greater than ≥-70.1

Diagnostic Test: HRP frequency, plaque compostion and local immune-inflammatory activation

Lesions with perivasular FAI greater than <-70.1

Diagnostic Test: HRP frequency, plaque compostion and local immune-inflammatory activation

Interventions

HRP frequency, plaque compostion were detected by CCTA method. Local T cell subsets and their intracellular cytokines levels were detected by Flow Cytometry.

Sampling MethodProbability Sample
Study Population

Between January 2019 and January 2020, a total of 130 patients with 195 lesions were included in our study for final analysis.

You may qualify if:

  • non-ST-elevation ACS (non-ST-elevation myocardial infarction or unstable angina) age from 18 to 75 years which underwent CCTA were prospectively enrolled in this study.

You may not qualify if:

  • Patients needed an immediate (\<2 h) or early invasive strategy (\<24 h) according to guidelines were excluded: including those presented with haemodynamic instability or cardiogenic shock, life-threatening arrhythmia or cardiac arrest, mechanical complication, acute heart failure, dynamic ST or T wave changes, GRACE score \>140;
  • Subjects with previous history of coronary artery bypass graft surgery or PCI, immune system disorder, tumor, acute/chronic infection, atrial fibrillation, end-stage renal failure, iodine-containing contrast allergy were also excluded.
  • After CCTA performance, we also exclude patients with no significant (≥50%) stenosis on major epicardial vessels and those refused subsequent angiography.
  • Participants with total obstruction on major epicardial vessel, or insufficient image quality for FAI and QangioCT analysis, as well as lack of blood sample were excluded.
