“…This score applies to any combination of ITPD and CAC values, in contrast to previously proposed CAC thresholds (6,25). Consequently, the developed technique allows us to demonstrate the increase in the overall diagnostic performance of hybrid PET/ CAC in consecutive patients referred to clinically indicated MPI for suspected CAD.…”

“…PETmyocar dial perfusion imaging (MPI) is a well-established noninvasive procedure for the evaluation and risk stratification of patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) (1)(2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8). A principal advantage of hybrid PET combined with CT, compared with SPECT, is its potential ability to evaluate the coronary atherosclerotic burden as assessed by the coronary artery calcium (CAC) score during the PET scan.…”

Hybrid PET myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) with CT allows the incorporation of coronary artery calcium (CAC) into the clinical protocol. We aimed to determine whether the combined analysis of MPI and CAC could improve the diagnostic accuracy of PET MPI in detection of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Methods: Consecutive patients (n 5 152; mean age ± SD, 69 ± 12 y) without prior CAD, referred to 82 Rb PET MPI followed by invasive coronary angiography performed within 14 days, were studied. Myocardial perfusion was quantified automatically for left anterior descending, left circumflex, and right coronary artery territories as an ischemic total perfusion deficit (ITPD) for 456 vessels. Global and per-vessel CAC Agatston scores were calculated. Obstructive CAD was defined as 50% or greater stenosis of the left main and 70% or greater stenosis in the left anterior descending, left circumflex, and right coronary arteries. Logistic regression and 10-fold cross validation were used to derive and validate the combined ITPD/logCAC (logarithm of coronary calcium) scores. Results: In the prediction of per-vessel obstructive CAD, the receiver-operating-characteristic area under the curve for combined per-vessel ITPD/logCAC score was higher, 0.85 (95% confidence interval [CI], 0.81-0.89), than standalone ITPD area under the curve, 0.81 (95% CI: 0.76-0.85), and logCAC score, 0.73 (95% CI, 0.68-0.78; P , 0.05). The integrated discrimination improvement of combined per-vessel ITPD/logCAC analysis was 0.07 (95% CI, 0.04-0.09; P , 0.0001), as compared with ITPD alone. Conclusion: Combined automatically derived per-vessel ITPD and logCAC score improves accuracy of 82 Rb PET MPI for detection of obstructive CAD.Key Words: hybrid cardiac positron emission tomography; coronary calcium score; detection of obstructive coronary artery disease

“…Limited data suggest that CAC influences physicians' management of CAD risk factors. 233 Although an exploratory subgroup analysis from a single randomized, clinical trial suggests that statin therapy in asymptomatic patients with CAC >400 may improve outcomes, 234 no dedicated, prospective studies have been performed to suggest that the detection of subclinical CAD by CAC leads to improvement in clinical events.…”

“…4 The introduction of hybrid imaging as single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT)/computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography/CT allows to perform morphological and functional imaging in a same study session with a comfortable accuracy. 5 A combined evaluation of functional and structural abnormalities allows to improve the detection of obstructive CAD and to better stratify patients at low-intermediate risk of CAD. 6 Previous studies demonstrated that the major predictors of events in patients with suspected CAD are the extent of atherosclerotic burden, assessed by CAC, and the extent and severity of stress-induced myocardial ischemia, as assessed by MPI.…”
