Official title:
Biological Interconnection Between Stress-associated Neurobiological Activity and Atherosclerotic Plaque Instability: A Prospective Cohort Study With OCT-FLIM Dual-modal Intravascular Imaging and Serial 18F-FDG-PET/CT Assessment
Emotional stress is associated with future cardiovascular events. However, the biological interconnection between brain emotional neural activity and acute plaque instability is not fully understood. Optical coherence tomography-Fluorescence Lifetime (OCT-FLIM) dual modal intravascular imaging is a novel technique that enables comprehensive assessment of structural and biochemical characteristics of coronary atheroma and estimates the level of plaque instability. 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose-positron emission tomography/computed tomography (18F-FDG-PET/CT) enables simultaneous estimation of multi-system activities including emotional stress, arterial inflammation, and hematopoiesis. The present study aims to prospectively investigate mechanistic linkage between coronary plaque instability, stress-associated neurobiological activity, and macrophage hematopoiesis using OCT-FLIM and 18F-FDG PET/CT imaging assessment.
Thirty two patients with multivessel coronary artery disease (including both stable angina and acute coronary syndrome), who have at least one severe obstructive lesion (>70% diameter stenosis) that is considered suitable for percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), will be included in the study. Structural/biochemical characteristics of coronary culprit plaque (with or without mild to moderate stenotic non-culprit plaque) will be assessed comprehensively using OCT-FLIM dual modal intravascular imaging. After coronary revascularization with PCI, subjects will undergo serial 18F-FDG-PET/CT molecular imaging at baseline admission and 6-month follow-up to measure PET signal activities at target tissues including amygdala, carotid artery, aorta, bone marrow, and spleen. Correlation between OCT-FLIM parameters and baseline PET signals will be assessed to provide insight into the mechanistic linkage between multi-system metabolic activities and coronary plaque instability. Serial PET/CT imaging after 6 month will enable estimation of natural course of multi-system PET signal activities according to different levels of coronary plaque instability. ;
