Abstract:
Cardiac cycle morphological changes can accelerate plaque growth proximal to myocardial bridging (MB) in the left anterior descending artery (LAD). Objective To assess coronary CT angiography (CCTA)-based vascular radiomics for predicting proximal plaque development in LAD MB. Methods Patients with repeated CCTA scans showing LAD MB without proximal plaque in index CCTA were included from Jinling Hospital as development set. They were divided into training and internal testing in an 8:2 ratio. Patients from 4 other tertiary hospitals were set as external validation set. The endpoint was proximal plaque development of LAD MB in follow-up CCTA. Four vascular radiomics models were built: MB centerline (MB CL), proximal MB CL (pMB CL), MB cross section (MB CS), and proximal MB CS (pMB CS), whose performances were evaluated using area under the curve (AUC), integrated discrimination improvement (IDI) and net reclassification improvement (NRI). Results 295 patients were included in the development (n=192; median age, 54±11 years; 137 men) and external validation sets (n=103; median age, 57±9 years; 57 men). The pMB CS vascular radiomics model exhibited higher AUCs in training, internal test, and external sets (AUC=0.78, 0.75, 0.75) than the clinical and anatomical model (all p & lt;0.05). Integration of the pMB CS vascular radiomics model significantly raised the AUC of the clinical and anatomical model from 0.56 to 0.75 (p=0.002), along with enhanced NRI (0.76 [0.37-1.14], p & lt;0.001) and IDI (0.17 [0.07-0.26], p & lt;0.001) in the external validation set. Conclusion The CCTA-based pMB CS vascular radiomics model can predict plaque development in LAD MB.
