A Comparison of Dynamic SPECT Coronary Flow Reserve with TIMI Frame Count in the Treatment of Non-Obstructive Epicardial Coronary Patients

© 2023 He et al..

Background: Microvascular dysfunction in patients with non-obstructive epicardial coronary may aggravate patient's symptoms or lead to various clinical events.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between dynamic single photon emission computed tomography (D-SPECT) derived coronary flow reserve (CFR) and TIMI frame count (TFC) in patients with non-obstructive epicardial coronary patients.

Methods: Patients with suspected or known stable CAD who were recommended to undergo invasive coronary angiography were prospectively enrolled in this study. Those who had non-obstructive coronary received TIMI frame count (TFC) and D-SPECT. A cut-off value of >40 was defined as slow flow referred to TFC.

Results: A total of 47 patients diagnosed with non-obstructive coronary were enrolled. The mean age of patients was 66.09 ± 8.36 years, and 46.8% were male. Dynamic SPECT derived coronary flow reserve (CFR) was significantly correlated with TIMI frame count in 3 epicardial coronary (LAD: r=-0.506, P = 0.0003; LCX: r= -0.532, P = 0.0001; RCA: r= -0.657, P < 0.0001). The sensitivity and specificity of CFR in identifying abnormal TIMI frame count < 40 was 100.0% and 57.6% in LAD, 62.5% and 87.0% in LCX, 83.9% and 75.0% in RCA, respectively. The optimal CFR cut-off values were 2.02, 2.47, and 1.96 among the three vessels.

Conclusion: In patients with non-obstructive coronary, CFR derived from D-SPECT was strongly correlated with TFC. This study demonstrates that that CFR may be an alternative non-invasive method for identifying slow flow in non-obstructive coronary.
