简要总结
The present case-control study is designed to investigate the disease characteristics of IR-CAD by comparing the demographics, clinical features, lab results, imaging findings, and prior treatment between 20 patients with IR-CAD and 10 patients with AS-CAD.
详细描述
A special type of coronary artery disease (CAD) has been identified in the investigators' clinical practice, which has completely different clinical features from those of typical atherosclerotic coronary artery disease (AS-CAD). The patients often have sterile inflammatory diseases and/or clinical evidence of inflammation, whose CAD progresses rapidly, recurs frequently, and responds poorly to intensified secondary prevention of AS-CAD, especially after percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). The investigators name this special type of CAD with inflammation-associated rapidly-progressive coronary artery disease (IR-CAD). Currently, the overall disease characteristics of IR-CAD remain unknown.
The present case-control study is designed to investigate the disease characteristics of IR-CAD by comparing the demographics, clinical features, lab results, imaging findings, and prior treatment between 20 patients with IR-CAD and 10 patients with AS-CAD.
The first 20 patients who were enrolled in the IR-CAD cohort study, which included patients who met the inclusion/exclusion criteria for IR-CAD and received comprehensive treatment, will be enrolled in the case group of the present IR-CAD case-control study. Patients were diagnosed as IR-CAD if they have 1) evidence of rapidly progressive (occurred within 6 months or occurred on immunosuppressive therapy within 12 months of the last coronary revascularization) myocardial ischemia (typical symptoms and non-invasive evidence) despite standard treatment for secondary prevention of AS-CAD; 2) angiographic evidence of new coronary lesions (de novo stenosis or restenosis) considered to be relevant to myocardial ischemia; 3) evidence of inflammation (positive inflammation markers or established diagnosis of inflammatory diseases or use of immunosuppressive therapy). The comprehensive treatment for IR-CAD included: 1) intensified secondary prevention of AS-CAD; 2) immunosuppressive therapy; 3) coronary revascularization; 4) supportive therapies.
Patients who fulfill the inclusion/exclusion criteria for AS-CAD defined by the protocol of the present case-control study will be enrolled in the control group of the present case-control study. Patients will be diagnoses as AS-CAD if they 1) are ≥ 45 but < 65 years of age; 2) are receiving standard treatment for secondary prevention of AS-CAD after the last PCI which was performed 12±6 months ago; 3) do not have evidence of rapidly progressive (occurred within 6 months or occurred on immunosuppressive therapy within 12 months of the last PCI) myocardial ischemia (typical symptoms and non-invasive evidence); 4) do not have angiographic evidence of new coronary lesions (de novo stenosis or restenosis) considered to be relevant to myocardial ischemia.
Patients in the IR-CAD cohort study underwent examinations after they met the inclusion/exclusion criteria for IR-CAD based on a protocol specifically designed for the clinical management of IR-CAD patients. The results of the above examinations will be used as the examination results of the case group of the present IR-CAD case-control study. While patients in the control group of the present case-control study will undergo similar examinations after enrollment according to the protocol of the present case-control study.
