Abstract Background and aims Patients with ischemic stroke (IS) have a significantly higher prevalence of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) compared to those without stroke. Pre-test probability (PTP) assessment for obstructive CAD is often deferred in acute IS patients because the focus shifts to the urgent stroke cause. We tried to evaluate the performance of the model of coronary calcium score (CCS) and the CAD consortium PTP models (basic CAD1, clinical CAD2 and CCS-CAD2) in predicting obstructive coronary stenosis in patients with acute IS and chest pain or dyspnea. Methods In a prospective registry study, 50 patients (median age 60 (52; 66) years, 56% male) with confirmed IS underwent coronary computed tomography angiography (CTCA). Clinical, laboratory, electro- and echocardiographic data were recorded. We analyzed area under the ROC-curve (AUC), sensitivity, specificity, predictive values and calibration of PTP models. Results CTCA detected obstructive CAD in 24 (48%) patients with IS. The model CCS-CAD2 showed the best discrimination capability (AUC 0,818 95% CI 0,694-0,942, p0,001) and calibration (χ2 =10,982; p=0,203). Compared with the CAD model the CCS-CAD2 model significantly reduced the number of patients with moderate PTP (7 (29%) vs 2 (8%), correspondingly, p=0,006). Multivariate regression analysis revealed an independent association CCS117 with obstructive CAD (OR 9,220 95% CI 1,482-57,346, p=0,017). Conclusions The inclusion of CCS improved calibration, discrimination and classification in the CAD2 model in patients with acute IS. CCS has priority over clinical, laboratory and echocardiographic parameters in identifying obstructive CAD. Conflict of interest All authors: nothing to disclose
Shavarov et al. (Fri,) conducted a observational in Acute ischemic stroke (n=50). CCS-CAD2 model vs. CAD1 and CAD2 models was evaluated on Obstructive coronary stenosis (AUC 0.818, 95% CI 0.694-0.942, p=<0.001). The inclusion of coronary calcium score in the CAD2 model (CCS-CAD2) accurately predicted obstructive coronary stenosis in acute ischemic stroke patients (AUC 0.818; 95% CI 0.694-0.942; p<0.001).
