About

The goal of this observational study is to learn about correlation between traditional risk factors and emerging risk factors on the progression of non-target coronary lesions in patients with non-target lesions on at least two coronary angiographies at the First Affiliated Hospital of Shandong First Medical University. The main question it aims to answer is what the correlation between emerging risk factors and progression of coronary non-target lesions, and try to explore the powerful predictors of progression of coronary non-target lesions and cardiovascular events.

Participants will be divided into two groups based on coronary angiography results:

1. progress group:There is at least one major coronary artery (left main artery, left anterior descending artery, left circumflex artery or the right coronary artery) had non-target lesions, and the coronary artery stenosis rate reached the progressive level on follow-up angiography.
2. Non-progress groups: On repeat angiography, the rate of coronary stenosis did not reach progressive levels.

Full description

The laboratory and auxiliary examination indexes of the study participants were collected prior to two coronary angiography (CAG) procedures, encompassing blood cell counts, glucose metabolism, lipid metabolism, renal function, cardiac function, inflammatory factors, etc. Quantitative flow fraction (QFR) was employed for assigning values to coronary artery images and analyzing lesion information (including plaque progression and non-progression). The correlation between conventional risk factors, lipoprotein(a), homocysteine, and other emerging risk factors with the progression of non-target coronary lesions was analyzed; furthermore, the predictive value of emerging risk factors for non-target coronary lesion progression was evaluated.

3. Exclusion criteria included uncontrolled severe arrhythmia and severe hepatic and renal dysfunction.
4. Patients with tumor or other autoimmune diseases were excluded from the study.
5. Incomplete clinical information, biochemical test information, coronary angiography data, and imaging data were considered as exclusion factors.

Trial design

1,111 participants in 2 patient groups

Progression

Description:

There is at least one major coronary artery (left main artery, left anterior descending artery, left circumflex artery or the right coronary artery) had non-target lesions, and the coronary artery stenosis rate reached the progressive level on follow-up angiography.

Non-progression

Description:

The rate of coronary stenosis of the non-target lesion did not reach progressive levels during the repeat angiography.
