简要总结
The background for performing the present study is to compare the mass calculations by CT scanning and by invasive absolute blood flow measurements and thereby corroborating both methods.
详细描述
Although knowledge about the myocardial mass (in grams) of the different territories belonging to the major coronary arteries, is of clinical importance to estimate risk of coronary interventions (PCI, CABG) and to determine area of necrosis after myocardial infarction, no invasive methodology has been available so far for reliable assessment of mass.
Especially in the setting of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), it would be valuable to have information about the absolute and relative myocardial mass distal to the location where the intervention is planned. Such information is valuable for risk estimation and can also be helpful in multivessel disease to determine the most adequate way of revascularization.
Both MRI and CT scanning have claimed to be able to estimate myocardial mass non-invasively, but by the lack of any gold standard, none of these methods could be validated in vivo so far.
A relatively new development in CT technology is the calculation of fractional flow reserve (FFR) by CT scanning, according to a sophisticated algorithm developed by Heartflow Inc. One of the baseline assumptions in that algorithm is that myocardial mass is proportional to resting blood flow, which seems a plausible assumption from a rational physiological point of view.
More recently, invasive calculation of absolute blood flow has become possible as well as resistance measurement of the (microcirculation of the) myocardium.

结局指标
主要结局
Comparison of Mass and flow in the LAD
时间窗: 3 months
To compare relative myocardial mass belonging to a proximal or a mid segment of one of the major coronary arteries measured by CT scanning to invasive absolute flow and FFR measurement in that particular proximal or mid coronary artery in patients undergoing single or multivessel PCI.
Comparison of Mass and flow
时间窗: 3 months
To compare relative myocardial mass distribution (i.e. mass of the respective territories of LAD, LCX and RCA) by CT scanning to normalized hyperemic blood flow in the three major myocardial territories as assessed by absolute flow measurements and FFR in patients with an indication for multivessel FFR measurement.
