dc.description.abstractBACKGROUND: Detection of vulnerable coronary plaque can predict future myocardial infarctions. We have developed a novel, non-contrast cardiovascular magnetic resonance sequence (iT2prep-BOOST), enabling simultaneous, co-registered coronary angiography and plaque detection.OBJECTIVES: To validate iT2prep-BOOST in patients with non-ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (NSTEMI).METHODS: 41 patients with suspected NSTEMI were recruited. Invasive coronary angiography ± intravascular imaging was used to classify coronary segments into the following categories: normal, non-culprit and culprit segments; stenosed segments as well as segments with vulnerable plaque features (lipid, calcium, fibroatheroma, thin cap fibroatheroma (TCFA), plaque-rupture and thrombus). The plaque/myocardial signal intensity ratio (PMR) in each coronary segment was analyzed on iT2prep-BOOST.RESULTS: The mean ± standard deviation PMR of culprit segments was significantly higher than non-culprit segments and normal segments (1.01 ± 0.14 vs. 0.67 ± 0.18 vs. 0.35 ± 0.24, P<0.001 respectively). Coronary segments with lipid, calcium and fibroatheroma had a significantly higher PMR compared to normal coronary segments (P<0.001), but significantly lower than segments with plaque-rupture and intraluminal thrombus (P<0.05). There was a progressive increase in PMR with increasing coronary segment stenosis (P<0.001). There was a significant association on multivariable analysis between HbA1c as well as family history of coronary artery disease and mean PMR (P=0.05 and P=0.04 respectively).CONCLUSIONS: iT2prep-BOOST has the potential to simultaneously visualize coronary artery lumen and plaque and differentiate normal segments from non-culprit and culprit plaque segments non-invasively and without contrast. The prognostic value of PMR needs to be investigated in a prospective multicenter study.
