Description

17-segment myocardial scoring system

Technical Field

The invention relates to identification and evaluation of a cardiac contrast image, in particular to a 17-segment myocardial scoring system.

Background

Coronary heart disease is the leading cause of death. Coronary angiography has been used clinically as a routine examination, and therefore, it has become both possible and a significant challenge to collect useful information for organizing the coronary arterial tree (normal or diseased) of a large number of patients. There is a need for a method for systematically characterizing coronary tree anatomy and quantitatively grading the complexity of vascular lesions in patients with coronary heart disease, thereby obtaining important information on patient health and prognosis. The Syntax score, developed based on the AHA recommended segmentation naming of coronary trees, may be used to determine the number, location, complexity, and impact on cardiac function of coronary lesions. The higher the Syntax score, the more complex the lesion. It must be recognized that the Syntax system has its limitations. One obvious disadvantage is that in the Syntax system, coronary circulation typing is simplistic, only type 2: namely a left dominant type and a right dominant type. This excessive simple typing does not reflect the large variation in coronary vasculature. More importantly, the Syntax scoring system is essentially vessel-based, rather than a scoring system based on vessel importance, and thus its limitations are self-evident. For example, the coronary segment 12 is the middle branch vessel, which is weighted 1 regardless of its size (> 1.5 mm) according to the Syntax system. In fact, the variation of the middle branch vessels among individuals is extremely large, negligibly small, and large enough to supply blood to the whole blunt edge region. The traditional Syntax scoring has less classification and longer calculation time.

54 coronary circulation types

The coronary circulation system is divided into 6 types according to the blood supply range of the right coronary artery:

zero post-reduction (PDA zero): the left heart receives blood only from the left coronary system, and the right coronary system does not supply blood to the left heart, as it is known as the left dominant type (fig. 2 a).

Unique post descending (PDA only): the right coronary system only sends out the posterior descending branch to walk in the posterior ventricular sulcus to supply blood for the posterior ventricular septum. The lower diaphragm surface of the left ventricle is entirely fed by the left circumflex (fig. 2 b).

Small right coronary artery type (small RCA): the right coronary system sends out the posterior descending branch and also sends out the posterior lateral branch to supply a part of the inferior diaphragm. The remaining diaphragm surface is supplied with blood from the posterior collateral branch originating from the left circumflex (fig. 3 c).

Common right coronary artery type (average RCA): the right coronary system sends out the posterior descending branch and the postperfusion compartment of the posterior collateral and the entire inferior diaphragmatic surface (fig. 3 d).

Large right coronary artery type (large RCA): the right coronary system sends a small blunt edge branch to perfuse a small blunt edge of the left heart, in addition to the posterior descending branch and the postperfusion septal and whole inferior diaphragm surface. This part of the blunt left heart is originally supplied with blood from the circumflex (FIG. 4 e).

Extra large right coronary artery type (super RCA): the right coronary system sends out a relatively large blunt-limbed branch to perfuse a relatively large portion of the blunt edge of the left heart, in addition to the posterior descending branch and the postperfusion septal and entire inferior diaphragmatic surface. This part of the blunt left heart is originally supplied by the circumflex (FIG. 4 f).

According to the blood supply range of anterior descending branch (excluding diagonal branch), the coronary circulation system is classified into type 3: short (fig. 5a), normal (fig. 5b) and long (fig. 6c) anterior descending 3 types; according to the blood supply range of diagonal branches, the coronary circulation system is divided into 3 types: the small (fig. 6d), medium (fig. 7e) and large (fig. 7f) diagonal branch 3 types, totaling 54 coronary circulation types, the 17-segment myocardial scoring system will use these 54 coronary circulation types to reflect the huge variation of coronary tree among individuals.

In our scoring system, the definitions of the series of segments 16, 7, 9, 12, 14, and the series of segments 11,13, and 15 have been modified from the conventional definitions. The definition of each coronary segment in the present scoring system is set forth in detail below.

And determining the weight of the lesion of the segment according to the height of the width percentage of the blood vessels in the marked segment relative to a set threshold value, and adding the factors of the segments to generate a score.

The segment weight database stores the weight data of the blood vessel segments, the weight data are called by dividing the blood vessel through the segment set end to generate scores, and the weight data and the weight calculation adopt the following rules:

computation and derivation of coronary tree weight factors

The derivation of the coronary tree weight factors is based on the following rules:

1) competitive blood supply rules for 3 regions;

the left ventricular surface clearly presents 3 anatomical landmarks: anterior interventricular sulcus, posterior interventricular sulcus and blunt edge. These 3 anatomical landmarks constantly divide the left heart into 3 regions: bays, including front and rear bays (fig. 1 c); diagonal strut-blunt edge zone, including front wall and side walls, but not crossing the blunt edge boundary (fig. 1 a); lower diaphragm face (fig. 1 b). Accordingly, there are 3 vessels running relatively constantly along these anatomical landmarks: the left anterior descending branch (12), the posterior descending branch, and the blunt limbic branch, although the coronary vessel tree varies greatly between individuals.

Competitive blood supply laws

The compartment is supplied with blood competitively by the anterior descending branch (excluding the diagonal branch) and the posterior descending branch (usually without the major branch). A long anterior descending branch will decrease the blood supply to the posterior descending branch and vice versa. The diagonal-blunt edge region is supplied with blood competitively by the diagonal branch and the blunt edge branch. A large diagonal branch will reduce the extent of blood supply to the blunt edge branch and vice versa. The inferior diaphragmatic surface is competitively fed by the posterior collateral branches originating from the left or right corona. A large right corona would reduce the circumflex blood supply range and vice versa.

2) The sum of the sub-vessel flows equals the main vessel flow rule;

3) and (4) calculating an unknown weight factor rule according to the key known anchoring value.

Referring to fig. 10-12, the total coronary weighting factor was constant at 17.0, the diagonal branch-blunt edge region vessel weighting factor was constant at 8.0, the septal vessel weighting factor was constant at 6.0, and the inferior diaphragmatic vessel weighting factor was constant at 3.0 for all 54 coronary circulation types. In the RCA general right dominant type, the weight factors of the LAD at the far section are 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0 in sequence according to the different lengths of the LAD; the diagonal branch weight factors are different according to the diagonal branch size and are sequentially 2.0, 3.0 and 4.0; the LCX weighting factors are 6.0, 5.0 and 2.0 according to the competitive blood supply rule of diagonal branch-blunt edge region. When the diagonal branch size and the LAD length are the same, the RCA weighting factors are increased by 1.5 step by step according to the order from PDA only to super RCA type. Based on the above-mentioned anchoring values, the weighting factors for the 54 types of coronary trees can be derived. The vessels are identical, but the weighting factors are different, reflecting the difference in the number of left ventricular segments perfused by the vessel between individuals.

Distribution of coronary vessel weighting factors for patients with common dominant, diagonal and anterior descending branches (average RCA dominant circulation with intermediate diagonals and average LAD)

Referring to the column labeled light in fig. 11, in the patient with common preponderance, diagonal and anterior descending, the right coronal section supplies blood to the inferior septal and inferior diaphragmatic regions for a total of 5 segments with a weighting factor of 5.0. The anterior descending branch (except the diagonal branch) supplies blood to the anterior septal and apical segments, and the total number is 4 segments; the diagonal branch feeds the anterior wall for a total of 3 segments. Thus, the antegrade (including diagonal) branches total 7 segment blood supplies with a weighting factor of 7.0. The circumflex branch feeds the remaining 5 segments with a weighting factor of 5.0. The total score amounted to 17.0, corresponding to 17 segments of the left ventricular myocardium.

Specifically, in the common right dominant and diagonal branches, the distal anterior descending branch (digital LAD) supplies blood to 1 apical septal segment and 1 apical segment, totaling 2 segments, and the weighting factor is 2.0. Mid-anterior descending (mid LAD), if no diagonal branches are issued, will supply blood to the precordial septum, apical septum and apical segments, totaling 3 segments with a weighting factor of 3.0. If mid-way descending branch (mid LAD) issues diagonal branches, the weighting factors will be 6.0, 5.0 and 4.5 respectively according to the weights of the diagonal branches. The weight factor for the proximal descending (proximal LAD) is constant at 7.0 regardless of the position of the diagonal branch. The posterior descending branch (PDA) supplies blood for the next 2 segments of interval, with a weighting factor of 2.0. The posterior side branch of 1-2 feeds the inferior wall for 3 segments, which is weighted 3.0. If the 2 posterior collateral vessels are not equally large, the larger 1 is weighted at 2.0 and the smaller 1 is weighted at 1.0. If 2 posterior branches are equally large, each branch is weighted 1.5. There are only 1 large posterior branch, feeding the inferior wall 3 segments, with a weighting factor of 3.0. The sum of the posterior descending branch (PDA) and posterior branch weights is 5.0, which is also the distal segment right coronal (distalRCA) weight. The gyral branches emit 1-2 blunt edge branches with equal or unequal sizes. The only large blunt-edged branch that is issued is the 5 segment-fed blood, which has a weight factor of 5.0. If the 2 blunt edge branches are not equal, the greater 1 branch is weighted 3.0 and the lesser 1 branch is weighted 2.0. If 2 blunt-edged branches are equally large, each branch has a weight of 2.5. Seg inter series (Seg inter X, S, E & and &) represent different sizes of intermediate branches, with weighting factors corresponding to Seg 12 series (Seg 12X, 12S, 12a, 12b & 12 &).

The weight factor of the same blood vessel which changes continuously among different individuals reflects the continuous change of the segment number of the myocardial segments supplied by the blood vessel. But in the 54 coronary circulation types, the overall weight factor was constant at 17.0.

In our designed 17-segment myocardial scoring system, the importance of a vessel depends on the number of myocardial segments supplied by the vessel rather than the vessel itself. In all 54 coronary circulation types, the weight factor assignment for a vessel is based on the number of myocardial segments perfused by that vessel.

The degree of stenosis of the vessel is also taken into account when deriving the 17-segment myocardial model scoring system. The integral is the product of the vessel weight factor and the stenosis degree (equation 1). If the vessel is completely occluded, the weighting factor is multiplied by 5. If the vessel diameter is narrowed by 50-99%, the weighting factor is multiplied by 2, and then the integration obtained by the vessel segments is added to obtain the total coronary integral (21). An integral of 0 indicates that the coronary tree is not stenotic. The higher the integral, the more severe the stenosis.

S=W×D (1)

Wherein S is a 17-segment model score;

w is the weighting factor of the blood vessel;

d is the degree of stenosis of the vessel.

Definition of lesions

More than 50% of the diameter stenosis was visualized as a lesion (vessel diameter greater than 1.5 mm). In the present scoring system, only 2 types of lesions are considered: occlusive (100% stenosis) and non-occlusive (50-99% diameter stenosis).

Lesion scoring

In the present system, all lesions should be scored. The maximum number of lesions per patient was set to 12 and each lesion was labeled with a corresponding number from 1 to 12. Non-occlusive lesions accumulated over 2 adjacent segments with no major side branches, and only segments with >1/2 lesion length were scored. If the non-occlusive lesion is affected by 2 adjacent segments and there are main branches, the scoring correction should be performed with reference to the condition listed in the "lesion scoring correction" if these branches are judged to be in the same segment.

Lesion score correction

Lesion scores were modified for the following cases:

occlusive lesions

Major branch occlusive lesions of the same segment, with normal major branches (fig. 13a), lesion scores are modified by equation 2 because the major branch weights already include the major branch weights, but in fact, the major branches are not affected.

S =subtotal score -W intact SBs×5; (2)

Wherein, intact SBs refer to all normal side branches.

The main branch obliterative lesion of the same segment, with the main branch (fig. 13b), lesion score is modified according to equation 3, since the main branch is obliterative lesion (multiplication factor of 5.0) and the main branch is non-obliterative lesion (multiplication factor of 2.0), with different stenosis severity.

S= subtotal score-W SBs*5-W involved SBs*5+W involved SBs *2; (3)

Where SBs refer to all normal or abnormal side branches. Involved SBs refer only to the affected edge legs.

Major branch occlusive lesion of the same segment, another lesion (> 1 lesion) is present in the major branch (fig. 13 c), the lesion score is modified according to equation 4 because the major branch weight already includes the major branch weight, and the major branch weight is mistakenly treated as an occlusive lesion by the program (multiplication factor of 5.0). In fact, the main branch disease becomes an independent disease and should be scored separately (multiplication factor of 2.0).

S = subtotal score-W diseased SBs×5; (4)

Non-occlusive lesions

Major branch non-occlusive lesions of the same segment, with the major branch normal and emanating earlier than the lesion (fig. 13 d), the major branch lesion score is modified according to equation 5 because the major branch weight already includes the major side branch weight, which is not affected.

S =subtotal score-W intact SBs×2; (5)

Major non-occlusive lesions of the same segment, with involvement of the major side branch (1 lesion) and the side branch giving out earlier than major lesion (fig. 13 e), major lesion score is modified according to equation 6, while the involved major side branch does not need to be scored, since the involved side branch weight is already included in the major branch.

S=subtotal score-W involved SBs×2; (6)

Major non-occlusive lesions of the same segment, with lesions in both major collateral branches (> 1 lesion) and with collateral branches giving off earlier than major lesions (fig. 13 f), the major branch lesion score is modified according to equation 7 because the major branch weight already includes the major branch weight, which must be scored as an independent lesion.

S= subtotal score - W diseased SBs×2; (7)

Wherein S is the corrected score of the lesion segment,

subtotal score is a conventional score for the lesion,

WSBs are the primary branch weights.

Intact SBs refer to primary side branches normal,

involved SBs refer to the involvement of the major side branch, but should be considered as 1 lesion along with the main branch lesion,

the disease SBs indicate that there is a lesion in the main collateral branch, and independent of the main branch lesion.

In summary, in the same segment, all major side branches (> 1.5mm in diameter), whenever they are issued earlier than the main branch lesions, whether normal, affected or independent, the software score may overestimate the severity of the lesion due to the presence of the side branch, and therefore the side branch weight should be deducted, thus modifying the score.

Preferably, the blood vessel monitoring device further comprises a marking module, wherein the marking module marks the blood vessel into a gray-scale image from high to low according to the variable width of the blood vessel, so that the lesion degree of the lesion part can be observed manually.

Scoring example:

referring to fig. 14, an example of a conventional score. In large RCA, short LAD and common diagonal branch circulation types, occlusive lesions are routinely scored (upper row white arrows). In the extra-large RCA, common LAD length and common diagonal branch circulation type, non-occlusive lesions were routinely scored (lower row white arrows).

Referring to fig. 14, in the normal LAD and major diagonal branch circulation type, major occlusive lesions in the same segment, and the main branches involved (upper row white arrows), the lesion score is modified according to equation 3: 50-2 by 5(9a) -2 by 5(seg 9b) +2 by 2(seg 9b) =24 in the left dominant, short LAD and large diagonal branch circulation type, the main branch is non-occlusive, normal and early in the lesion in the same segment (white arrow in the lower panel), the main lesion score is modified as in equation 5: 14-4 x 2(seg 9&) =6.

The above description is only for the purpose of illustrating the preferred embodiments of the present invention and is not to be construed as limiting the invention, and any modifications, equivalents, improvements and the like that fall within the spirit and principle of the present invention are intended to be included therein.
