Intravascular Ultrasound-Derived Measures of Coronary Atherosclerotic Plaque Burden and Clinical Outcome
Open accessAbstract
Objectives The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between intravascular ultrasound (IVUS)-derived measures of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular outcomes.Background IVUS has been used in clinical trials to evaluate the effect of medical therapies on coronary atheroma progression.Methods Coronary plaque progression was evaluated in 4,137 patients in 6 clinical trials that used serial IVUS. The relationship between baseline and change in percent atheroma volume (PAV) and total atheroma volume with incident major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) was investigated.Results PAV increased by 0.3% (p < 0.001), and 19.9% of subjects experienced MACE (0.9% death, 1.8% myocardial infarction, 18.9% coronary revascularization). Greater baseline PAVs were observed in patients who experienced myocardial infarctions (42.2 +/- 9.6% vs. 38.6 +/- 9.1%, p = 0.001), coronary revascularization (41.2 +/- 9.3% vs. 38.1 +/- 9.0%, p < 0.001), or MACE (41.3 +/- 9.2% vs. 38.0 +/- 9.0%, p < 0.001). Each standard deviation increase in PAV was associated with a 1.32-fold (95% confidence interval: 1.22 to 1.42; p < 0.001) greater likelihood of experiencing a MACE. During follow-up (21.1 +/- 3.7 months), greater increases in PAV, but not total atheroma volume, were observed in subjects who experienced MACE compared with those who did not (0.95 +/- 0.19% vs. 0.46 +/- 0.16%, p < 0.001). Each standard deviation increase in PAV was associated with a 1.20-fold (95% confidence interval: 1.10 to 1.31; p < 0.001) greater risk for MACE. Multivariate analysis revealed that factors associated with MACE included baseline PAV (p < 0.0001), change in PAV (p = 0.002), smoking (p = 0.0002) and hypertension (p = 0.01).Conclusions A direct relationship was observed between the burden of coronary atherosclerosis, its progression, and adverse cardiovascular events. The relationship between disease progression and outcomes largely reflected the need for coronary revascularization. These data support the use of atherosclerosis imaging with IVUS in the evaluation of novel antiatherosclerotic therapies.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
