Abstract
Introduction: There is a lack of consensus on diagnosing coronary microvascular dysfunction (CMD) using the angiography-based index of microcirculatory resistance (Angio-IMR) due to the absence of evidence. This study aims to explore the efficacy of Angio-IMR in diagnosing CMD.
Methods: A systematic search was conducted in PubMed, Embase, Scopus, and Cochrane Library for studies primarily focusing on Angio-IMR diagnosing CMD, using IMR as the gold standard. The primary results were pooled sensitivity, specificity, and the area under curve (AUC).
Results: A total of 15 studies involving 2202 individuals and 2330 vessels were included in our study, Angio-IMR demonstrated high performance in predicting IMR with overall pooled sensitivity and specificity of 0.84 (95% confidence interval (CI): 0.81 to 0.87) and 0.87 (95%CI: 0.83 to 0.99), respectively, and AUC=0.91 (95%CI: 0.89 to 0.94). This indicates that Angio-IMR has good diagnostic characteristics. Subgroup analysis by indirect meta-analysis showed higher sensitivity in the rest state. However, there is no significant difference in sensitivity and specificity between the hyperemic and rest states when using the AccuIMR system. Furthermore, sensitivity and specificity were more pronounced in the group without coronary pressure monitoring compared to the group with monitoring.
Conclusion: Angio-IMR is an alternative tool to identify CMD.
期刊介绍:
''Cardiology'' features first reports on original clinical, preclinical and fundamental research as well as ''Novel Insights from Clinical Experience'' and topical comprehensive reviews in selected areas of cardiovascular disease. ''Editorial Comments'' provide a critical but positive evaluation of a recent article. Papers not only describe but offer critical appraisals of new developments in non-invasive and invasive diagnostic methods and in pharmacologic, nutritional and mechanical/surgical therapies. Readers are thus kept informed of current strategies in the prevention, recognition and treatment of heart disease. Special sections in a variety of subspecialty areas reinforce the journal''s value as a complete record of recent progress for all cardiologists, internists, cardiac surgeons, clinical physiologists, pharmacologists and professionals in other areas of medicine interested in current activity in cardiovascular diseases.
