Coronary Plaque Volume

Background: We investigated the combined effects of physical activity (PA) and aggressive low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) reduction on the changes in coronary plaque volume (PV) in patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS) using volumetric intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) analysis. Methods: We retrospectively analyzed data from two different prospective clinical trials that involved 101 ACS patients who underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and assessed the non-culprit sites of PCI lesions using IVUS at baseline and at the follow-up. After PCI, all the patients participated in early phase II comprehensive cardiac rehabilitation. Patients were divided into four groups based on whether the average daily step count, measured using a pedometer, was 7000 steps of more and whether the follow-up LDL-C level was <70 mg/dL. At the time of follow-up, we examined the correlation of changes in the PV with LDL-C and PA. Results: The baseline characteristics of the four study groups were comparable. At the follow-up, plaque regression in both the achievement group (PA and LDL-C reduction) was higher than that in the other three groups. In addition, plaque reduction independently correlated with increased PA and reduction in LDL-C level. Conclusions: Combined therapy of intensive PA and achievement of LDL-C target retarded coronary PV in patients with ACS.

Background and Purpose: We aim to determine, in healthy high-risk adults, the association between subclinical coronary artery disease and white matter hyperintensity (WMH) volume and location, independent of atherosclerotic risk factors. Methods: Seven hundred eighty-two asymptomatic first-degree relatives of index cases with early-onset coronary artery disease (<60 years old) from GeneSTAR (Genetic Study of Atherosclerosis Risk) with contemporaneous coronary computed tomography angiography and brain magnetic resonance imaging were analyzed. Multilevel mixed-effects linear regression models, accounting for family structure, evaluated the association of total WMH volume and 3 regions (deep WMH, periventricular WMH [PVWMH], or borderzone [cuff]) with markers of coronary artery disease. Separate models were created for total WMH, deep WMH, PVWMH, and cuff volumes, each, as dependent variables, across coronary computed tomography angiography variables, adjusted for covariates. Results: Mean age was 51 years ±10, with 58% women and 39% African American people. Participants with any coronary plaque had 52% larger WMH volumes than those without plaque (95% CI, 0.24–0.59). Per 1% greater coronary plaque volume, total WMH volumes were 0.07% larger (95% CI, 0.04–0.10). Every 1% higher total coronary plaque volume was associated with 5.03% larger deep WMH volume (95% CI, 4.67–5.38), 5.10% PVWMH larger volume (95% CI, 4.72–5.48), and 2.74% larger cuff volume (95% CI, 2.38–3.09) with differences in this association when comparing deep WMH to PVWMH ( P interaction, 0.001) or cuff ( P interaction, <0.001), respectively. Conclusions: In healthy, high-risk individuals, the presence and volume of coronary artery plaque are associated with larger WMH volumes, appearing the strongest for PVWMH. These findings in high-risk families suggest a disease relationship in 2 different vascular beds, beyond traditional risk factors, possibly due to genetic predisposition.
