Description

Detection method for guide-wire-free FFR, guide-wire-free IMR and guide-wire-free CFR
Technical Field
The present application relates to the field of coronary artery physiology, and in particular, to a detection method, apparatus, computer readable storage medium and processor for filar-free FFR, filar-free IMR and filar-free CFR.
Background
Coronary physiology plays an increasingly important clinical role in cardiology. Fractional flow reserve (Fractional Flow Reserve, FFR for short), coefficient of circulatory resistance (Index of Microcirculatory Resistance, IMR for short), and coronary flow reserve (Coronary Flow Reserve, CFR for short) are the most commonly used functional core indicators that characterize the extent of coronary lesions. Are widely used to assess the extent of functional ischemia (assessed by FFR), microvascular ischemia without significant occlusion (assessed by IMR), and coronary system ischemia (assessed by CFR) involving epicardial and microvascular vessels, respectively. Fractional Flow Reserve (FFR) the fractional flow reserve capacity of the vessel is calculated by dividing the stenosis distal coronary pressure during maximum hyperemia by the arterial pressure. FFR is considered a gold standard for assessing whether coronary stenosis causes functional ischemia; and simultaneously, the coronary downstream microcirculation system disease is also an independent cause of adverse events of coronary heart disease, and the corresponding clinical evaluation indexes comprise core indexes such as microcirculation resistance coefficient (IMR), coronary artery blood flow reserve (CFR) and the like. Symptomatic patients without significant obstructive plaque may still have significant non-obstructive coronary atherosclerosis and microvascular ischemia, resulting in an increased incidence of Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events (MACEs). The clinical significance of IMR is in assessing stable patients for chest pain and/or abnormal pressure testing to find no obstructive epicardial coronary artery disease. CFR is defined as the ratio of coronary blood flow at maximum hyperemia to baseline and represents the ability of the coronary circulation to respond to increased physiological oxygen demand and corresponding increases in blood flow. CFR includes epicardial blood vessel and microcirculation function information of the whole coronary system, FFR provides epicardial segment blood vessel information, IMR reflects coronary microcirculation function status. The three are mutually complemented to provide complete coronary circulation information. The objective detection indexes are fully used, so that a clinician can know the coronary artery functional state of a patient in detail, the blood vessels of criminals and lesions of criminals are clarified, an intervention strategy is optimized, the microcirculation functional state is evaluated, the drug treatment is guided, and more accurate prediction is provided for prognosis of a Percutaneous Coronary Intervention (PCI) patient.
The primary clinical acquisition means of FFR, IMR and CFR today is the invasive single point measurement with pressure guidewire at a designated location within the target vessel. The measurement method has various intra-operative risks and high cost, has high professional requirements for operators, is difficult to acquire the parameter values of all positions of the coronary artery, and needs to reduce the risk and cost brought by invasiveness in a technical upgrading mode. In recent years, a variety of medical imaging techniques have provided an auxiliary option for diagnosis of coronary vessels, including Digital Silhouette Angiography (DSA), positron Emission Tomography (PET) and cardiac magnetic resonance, myocardial ultrasound imaging, and computed tomography. The new medical imaging technology can more intuitively and accurately present the geometric information of the real coronary artery and blood flow, and well help clinicians to complete disease diagnosis and treatment. However, compared with the prior imaging technology which can display the blood vessel and blood flow information perfectly, the DSA image auxiliary technology cannot be adopted to realize the noninvasive detection of FFR/IMR/CFR.

Specifically, the 2D coronary image may be a 2D coronary DSA image, and of course, may be another type of 2D coronary image other than the 2D coronary DSA image. The method has high efficiency, good robustness and good accuracy for calculating the functional index FFR/IMR/CFR of the blood vessel in the coronary DSA image, and can realize instant 3D blood vessel analysis.
Alternatively, the central arterial pressure of the blood vessel to be measured may be obtained by means of non-invasive measurement such as ultrasonic detection, nuclear magnetic detection, and a blood pressure measuring instrument capable of recording waveforms.
Specifically, the calculation results of the guide wire-free CFR, the guide wire-free FFR and the guide wire-free IMR are displayed in real time, so that visualization is realized. The invention has good processing capacity, efficiency and precision for single or multiple coronary vessel trees. The overall treatment time for multiple vessels was less than 1 minute.

It should be noted that the steps illustrated in the flowcharts of the figures may be performed in a computer system such as a set of computer executable instructions, and that although a logical order is illustrated in the flowcharts, in some cases the steps illustrated or described may be performed in an order other than that illustrated herein.
In one embodiment of the present application, calculating a filar-free CFR, a filar-free FFR, and a filar-free IMR from the 3D coronary CFD model described above includes: determining blood flow in a resting state according to the 3D blood vessel model in the resting state; obtaining blood flow in a hyperemic state; calculating the guide wire-free CFR based on the blood flow in the resting state and the blood flow in the congestion state; applying the 3D coronary CFD model, and determining the blood vessel distal pressure during maximum hyperemia and the blood vessel proximal pressure during maximum hyperemia according to the blood flow in the hyperemic state; determining said guidewire-free FFR based on said maximum hyperemic vascular distal pressure and said maximum hyperemic vascular proximal pressure; and determining the guide wire-free IMR according to the blood vessel distal pressure at the time of maximum congestion and the maximum blood flow rate of congestion, wherein the maximum blood flow rate of congestion is the maximum value of the blood flow rate in the congestion state.

q_hyper=a×q_rest+b, where q_hyper represents the blood flow in the hyperemic state and q_rest represents the blood flow in the resting state, where a and B are parameters related to the performance of the object to be detected. In practical application, a 2D coronary DSA image of a blood vessel to be measured in a resting state is easy to obtain, but the 2D coronary DSA image of the blood vessel to be measured in a hyperemic state cannot be obtained, so that a 3D blood vessel model of the blood vessel to be measured in the hyperemic state cannot be obtained, and further, the blood flow in the hyperemic state cannot be obtained according to the 3D blood vessel model in the hyperemic state, which affects the measurement of the guide wire-free CFR, the guide wire-free FFR and the guide wire-free IMR.

In one embodiment of the present application, the obtaining the central arterial pressure of the blood vessel to be measured by using a non-invasive measurement method includes: acquiring brachial artery pressure, radial artery pressure and carotid artery pressure by using the noninvasive measurement method; the central cardiac pulse pressure is calculated from at least one of the brachial artery pressure, the radial artery pressure, and the carotid artery pressure. Specifically, a non-invasive measurement manner may be adopted to obtain a brachial artery pressure waveform, a radial artery pressure waveform and a carotid artery pressure waveform, and then the above-mentioned central artery pressure is calculated according to at least one of the brachial artery pressure waveform, the radial artery pressure waveform and the carotid artery pressure waveform, so as to obtain an accurate central artery pressure.
