Abstract

Introduction: Although the relationship between the geometry of coronary stenosis and the presence of myocardial ischemia is well known, the association between stenosis geometry and severity and/or extent of ischemia is still unexplored. Thus, we investigated this relationship using optical coherence tomography (OCT) to assess stenosis parameters and cardiac magnetic resonance imaging (CMR) to determine both extent and severity of ischemia. Methods: We analyzed 55 lesions from 51 patients with stable angina. Pre-interventionally, all patients underwent OCT-analysis of stenosis morphology as well as CMR to determine both the extent and severity of myocardial ischemia. Results: Percent area stenosis (%AS) was significantly associated with ischemic burden (r = 0.416, p = 0.003). Similar results could be obtained for other stenosis parameters as well as for several other parameters assessing the extent of ischemia. Furthermore, OCT-derived stenosis parameters were associated with the product of ischemic burden and severity of ischemia (%AS: r = 0.435, p = 0.002; similar results for other parameters). A Poiseuille's-law-modelled combination of stenosis length and minimal lumen diameter yielded a good diagnostic efficiency (AUC 0.787) in predicting an ischemic burden >10%. Conclusions: Our data highlight the key role of the geometry of coronary lesions in determining myocardial ischemia.
