BACKGROUND: Microvascular dysfunction could be responsible for chest pain in patients without myocardial perfusion defects. We evaluated microvascular function using ultrasound-assessed coronary flow reserve (CFR) in patients with chest pain and normal myocardial perfusion scintigram. Secondly, we investigated association between cardiovascular parameters and decreased CFR in a sex specific manner.
METHODS: A total of 202 (128 women) non-diabetic patients with chest pain and suspected myocardial ischemia, but without myocardial perfusion defects on myocardial perfusion scintigram, were enrolled and underwent CFR examination and blood sampling. All patients were followed-up for cardiovascular events. We used a supervised principal component analysis including 66 variables such as clinical parameters, ongoing medication, coronary artery disease history, lipids, metabolic parameters, inflammatory and other cardiovascular parameters.
RESULTS: During a median follow-up time of 5.4 years, 25 cardiovascular events occurred; (men;18, women;7). Average CFR of the study cohort was 2.7±1.2 and 14% showed impaired CFR<2.0. In an adjusted Cox regression analysis, CFR<2.0 independently predicted event-free survival (HR:2.5, p = 0.033). In the supervised principal component analysis high insulin resistance assessed by Homeostatic model assessment for insulin resistance was the strongest biochemical marker associated with decreased CFR. Interestingly, upon sex specific multivariable linear regression analysis, the association was only significant in men (β = -0.132, p = 0.041) while systolic blood pressure remained an independent predictor in women (β = -0.009, p = 0.011).
CONCLUSIONS: In non-diabetic patients with chest pain without myocardial perfusion defects, low CFR has prognostic value for future cardiovascular events. Insulin resistance appears to be a marker for decreased CFR in men. Indeed, in the context of contribution of traditional risk factors in this patient population, the value of systolic blood pressure seems to be important in the women.
