Coronary plaque characteristics on NIRS for prediction of PMI.
| Author | Number of patients | Events rate (%) | Imaging result | Odds ratio (95% CI) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Raghunathan et al. [30] | 30 | CK-MB > 3 × ULN (10%) | ≧ 12-mm yellow blocks | n/a |
| Goldstein et al. [31] | 62 | TnI or CK-MB > 3 × ULN (14.5%) | maxLCBI4 mm ≧ 500 | 12 (3.3–48) |
| Kini et al. [33] | 110 | TnI > 3 × ULN (9%) TnI > 5 × ULN (7.3%) |
maxLCBI4 mm | 1.003 (1.000–1.006) (All OCT findings excluded) |
| Stone et al. [34] | 85 | TnI or T > 3 × ULN (24.7%) | maxLCBI4 mm ≧ 600 | n/a |
PMI = periprocedural myocardial infarction, CI = confidence interval, CK-MB = creatine kinase, ULN = upper limit of normal, TnI = troponin I, NIRS = near-infrared spectroscopy, LCBI = lipid core burden index.
