Introduction: Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) directly characterizes composition of plaque in coronary heart disease (CHD). Although the use of CCTA has been established in clinical CHD, no study to date has ever examined how psoriasis (PSO), a chronic inflammatory skin disease associated with increased risk for myocardial infarction (MI), affects CHD by CCTA. Therefore, our goal was to understand whether psoriasis increases CHD detected by CCTA and establishes CHD plaque characteristics compared to subjects with clinical coronary disease and healthy volunteers. Methods: Subjects with PSO (N=54), CHD (N=75) and healthy controls (N=5) underwent quantitative coronary CCTA imaging (Toshiba MDCT). Total coronary plaque was assessed using QAngioCT (Medis, Netherlands) as the total coronary artery wall volume. Furthermore, to better understand the determinants of CHD [total burden (TB) and non-calcified plaque burden (NCB)], we performed deep phenotyping for lipid markers including lipid particle size and numbers, HDL efflux, and metabolic parameters of insulin resistance such as Homeostasis Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR) in psoriasis. Results: Our study showed that PSO was associated with higher TB and NCB of CHD when compared to both CHD and control groups (See Table 1). These findings were robust to adjustment for CHD risk factors (Framingham risk score) and luminal density (TB β=7.6, p<0.001 & NCB β=5.1, p=0.001). NCB was strongly associated with BMI (β=0.38, p<0.01), HDL efflux capacity (β=-10.9, p<0.05) and insulin resistance estimated by HOMA-IR (β=0.53, p<0.05) in psoriasis. Conclusions: This is the first study to show that psoriasis increases total burden of CHD which is non-calcified providing compelling evidence for the association between psoriasis and MI. Determinants of this NCB suggest focusing therapies on lipid and metabolic derangement in psoriasis may reduce this risk of future events.

Background: Coronary computed tomography (CT) may improve the early triage of patients with acute chest pain in the emergency department (ED). The aim of this study was to compare the presence and extent of coronary atherosclerotic plaque as detected by coronary CT in patients with and without acute coronary syndromes (ACS). Methods: The study was designed as a prospective, observational cohort study in patients with acute chest pain but negative cardiac biomarkers and no diagnostic ECG changes, admitted to rule out myocardial ischemia. All patients underwent coronary CT prior to hospital admission. The presence of coronary plaque was treated as a dichotomous outcome, and the extent of CAD was defined as number of (1) coronary segments with plaque, or (2) major coronary arteries with plaque detected by MDCT as assessed by two independent observers. The clinical outcome (ACS) was adjudicated by a review committee using established AHA criteria; subjects with history of CAD (stent placement, bypass) were excluded. Results : Among 368 patients with acute chest pain (mean age 53±12 years, 61% male) 31 patients were determined to have ACS (8%). None of the 183 subjects without plaque (50%) had an ACS. Among the remaining 185 subjects (mean age 58.0±11.5 years, 68% male) in whom coronary plaque was detected, patients with ACS had a significantly more plaque (7.2±3.7 vs. 4.2±3.4, p<0.0001 segments) as compared to subjects without ACS. Similar results were seen for calcified plaque and non-calcified plaque (6.5±3.7 vs. 3.6±3.5 segments, p<0.0001; and 3.6±3.2 vs. 1.8±2.2 segments, p<0.0001, respectively). In addition, the rate of ACS increased with the number of major coronary arteries with plaque (1-vessel: 6.8%, 2-vessels: 10.6%, 3 vessels: 30.8%, and 4-vessels: 25%; p<0.01). In contrast, the ratio of non-calcified to calcified plaque was not different between patients with and without ACS (0.68±0.6 vs. 0.54±0.72, p=0.31). Conclusions: The extent of coronary plaque differs between subjects with and without ACS among patients presenting with acute chest pain. Detailed assessment of the extent and composition of coronary plaque may be helpful to assess risk of ACS among patients with acute chest pain but inconclusive initial ED evaluation.

Abstract Introduction OSA is closely associated with increased risk of coronary artery disease. Although previous small studies have investigated coronary plaque in OSA patients, limited data are available regarding the association of OSA with plaque morphology and composition. Therefore, we aimed to quantitatively characterize and compare coronary plaque burden and composition between patients with no or mild obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) and moderate-severe OSA using coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) in a large-scale study. Methods We retrospectively analyzed consecutive patients who underwent sleep monitoring and coronary CTA. Metrics reflecting coronary plaque characteristics were compared between patients with no or mild OSA with apnea hypoxic index (AHI) ≤15 and moderate-severe OSA (AHI&gt;15). The associations of OSA with coronary plaque components were determined by logistic and linear regression analysis. Results A total of 854 patients were enrolled in the study. Of these, 162 did not meet the inclusion criteria and of the remaining 692 patients 400 (57.8%) had moderate-severe OSA and 292 had no or mild OSA. Patients with moderate-severe OSA had a significantly higher total plaque volume, total non-calcified plaque (NCP) volume and total low density non-calcified plaque (LD-NCP) volume, and corresponding burden than those with no or mild OSA (all with p&lt;0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that moderate-severe OSA patients are more likely to have any plaque, NCP and LD-NCP than those without no or mild OSA (p&lt;0.05). In addition, stepwise multivariate linear regression analysis further revealed an independent relationship between moderate OSA (15&lt;AHI≤30) and more so between severe OSA (AHI&gt;30) and, NCP volume, LD-NCP volume, NCP composition, and LD-NCP composition, following adjustment for traditional cardiovascular risk factors, compared to no or mild OSA (AHI&lt;15) (all with a p&lt;0.05). Moderate-severe OSA conferred a similar odds ratio for LD-NCPs (a high-risk plaque) as the usual cardiovascular risk factors. Conclusion In this large cross-sectional study, OSA severity was associated with high-risk plaque features independent of traditional cardiovascular risk factors, suggesting an increased risk for cardiovascular events.

Abstract Background We investigated the association of insulin resistance (IR) with coronary plaque morphology and the risk of cardiovascular events in patients enrolled in the Providing Regional Observations to Study Predictors of Events in Coronary Tree (PROSPECT) study. Methods Patients with acute coronary syndromes (ACS) were divided based on DM status. Non-DM patients were further stratified according to homeostasis-model-assessment IR (HOMA-IR) index as insulin sensitive (IS; HOMA-IR ≤ 2), likely-IR (LIR; 2 < HOMA-IR < 5), or diabetic-IR (DIR; HOMA-IR ≥ 5). Coronary plaque characteristics were investigated by intravascular ultrasound. The primary endpoint was major adverse cardiac events (MACE); a composite of cardiac death, cardiac arrest, myocardial infarction, and rehospitalization for unstable/progressive angina. Results Among non-diabetic patients, 109 patients (21.5%) were categorized as LIR, and 65 patients (12.8%) as DIR. Patients with DIR or DM had significantly higher rates of echolucent plaque compared with LIR and IS. In addition, DIR and DM were independently associated with increased risk of MACE compared with IS (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR] 2.29, 95% confidence interval [CI] 1.22–4.29, p = 0.01 and aHR 2.12, 95% CI 1.19–3.75, p = 0.009, respectively). Conclusions IR is common among patients with ACS. DM and advanced but not early stages of IR are independently associated with increased risk of adverse cardiovascular events.

Abstract Aims Increased attenuation of pericoronary adipose tissue (PCAT) around the proximal right coronary artery (RCA) from coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) has been shown to be associated with coronary inflammation and improved prediction of cardiac death over plaque features. Our aim was to investigate whether PCAT CT attenuation is related to progression of coronary plaque burden. Methods and results We analysed CTA studies of 111 stable patients (age 59.2 ± 9.8 years, 77% male) who underwent sequential CTA (3.4 ± 1.6 years between scans) with identical acquisition protocols. Total plaque (TP), calcified plaque (CP), non-calcified plaque (NCP), and low-density non-calcified plaque (LD-NCP) volumes and corresponding burden (plaque volume × 100%/vessel volume) were quantified using semi-automated software. PCAT CT attenuation (HU) was measured around the proximal RCA, the most standardized method for PCAT analysis. Patients with an increase in NCP burden (n = 51) showed an increase in PCAT attenuation, whereas patients with a decrease in NCP burden (n = 60) showed a decrease {4.4 [95% confidence interval (CI) 2.6–6.2] vs. −2.78 (95% CI −4.6 to −1.0) HU, P < 0.0001}. Changes in PCAT attenuation correlated with changes in the burden of NCP (r = 0.55, P < 0.001) and LD-NCP (r = 0.24, P = 0.01); but not CP burden (P = 0.3). Increased baseline PCAT attenuation ≥−75 HU was independently associated with increase in NCP (odds ratio 3.07, 95% CI 1.4–7.0; P < 0.008) and TP burden on follow-up CTA. Conclusion PCAT attenuation measured from routine CTA is related to the progression of NCP and TP burden. This imaging biomarker may help to identify patients at increased risk of high-risk plaque progression and allow monitoring of beneficial changes from medical therapy.

Background and aimsWe hypothesised that intracellular homocysteine and homocysteine metabolite levels in patients with SLE are disproportionately elevated compared with the levels seen in healthy subjects and that they are independently associated with coronary plaque in SLE.MethodsA liquid chromatography–tandem mass spectrometry absolute quantification assay was used for the determination of six analytes in both plasma and peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs): homocysteine (Hcy), S-adenosylmethionine (SAM), S-adenosylhomocysteine (SAH), methionine (Met), cystathionine (Cysta) and 5-methyltetrahydrofolate (5m-THF). We then compared intracellular (PBMC) and extracellular (plasma) Hcy and Hcy metabolite (SAM, SAH, Met, Cysta and 5m-THF) concentrations in 10 patients with SLE and in 10 age, sex and ethnicity matched controls. Subjects with a history of diabetes mellitus, cardiovascular disease, hypertension, alcohol consumption in excess of 3 units per day, anaemia, renal insufficiency (serum creatinine >1.5 mg/dL) and pregnancy were excluded. All patients with SLE had two coronary CT angiography studies as screening for occult coronary atherosclerotic disease.ResultsPlasma from patients with SLE had higher levels of Hcy (p<0.0001), SAH (p<0.05), SAM (p<0.001) and lower levels of Met (p<0.05) and Cysta (p<0.001) compared with controls. PBMC intracellular concentrations from patients with SLE had higher levels of Cysta (p<0.05), SAH (p<0.05), SAM (p<0.001) and lower levels of 5m-THF (p<0.001). Plasma SAH showed a positive correlation with total coronary plaque, calcified plaque and non-calcified plaque (p<0.05).ConclusionIntracellular concentrations of Hcy metabolites were significantly different between patients with SLE and controls, despite similar intracellular Hcy levels. Plasma SAH was positively correlated with total coronary plaque, calcified plaque and non-calcified plaque.

AbstractPsoriasis in adults is associated with an increased risk of metabolic disease. Various cardiometabolic comorbidities have been reported in childhood psoriasis, but only a few studies have analyzed the prevalence of metabolic syndrome. We performed a single-center prospective study investigating the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance in children with psoriasis. The prevalence of metabolic syndrome was evaluated in 60 pre-pubertal children with psoriasis (age: 3–10 years), accordingly to recently established criteria for the diagnosis of metabolic syndrome in children. Insulin resistance was considered altered when the homeostatic model assessment (HOMA-IR) for insulin resistance was ≥ 90th sex- and age-specific percentile and HOMA 2-IR was > 1.8. Eighteen (30%) children with psoriasis were found to have metabolic syndrome. Sixteen (27%) children were found to have insulin resistance.Conclusion: Our data underline the importance of assessing metabolic syndrome not only in adults and adolescents but also in young children with psoriasis. What is Known:• Psoriasis in adults is strongly associated with metabolic disease and insulin resistance.• Very limited data are available on the prevalence of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance in pre-pubertal children with psoriasis. What is New:• This study reports that in pre-pubertal children with psoriasis, there is a high prevalence of metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance.• In children with psoriasis metabolic syndrome risk factors should be assessed.

Context: Irisin, a recently identified hormone, has been proposed to regulate energy homeostasis and obesity in mice. Whether irisin levels are associated with risk of the metabolic syndrome (MetS), cardiometabolic variables, and cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk in humans remains unknown. Objective: Our objective was to assess the associations between baseline serum irisin levels and MetS, cardiometabolic variables, and CVD risk. Design, Setting, and Subjects: We conducted a comparative cross-sectional evaluation of baseline circulating levels of the novel hormone irisin and the established adipokine adiponectin with MetS, cardiometabolic variables, and CVD risk in a sample of 151 subjects. Results: Baseline irisin levels were significantly higher in subjects with MetS than in subjects without MetS. Irisin was associated negatively with adiponectin (r = −0.4, P &lt; .001) and positively with body mass index (r = 0.22, P = .008), systolic (r = 0.17, P = .04) and diastolic (r = 0.27, P = .001) blood pressure, fasting glucose (r = 0.25, P = .002), triglycerides (r = 0.25, P = .003), and homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance (r = 0.33, P &lt; .001). After adjustment for potential confounders, including body mass index, subjects in the highest tertile of irisin levels were more likely to have MetS (odds ratio [OR] = 9.44, 95% confidence interval [CI] = 2.66–33.44), elevated fasting blood glucose (OR = 5.80, 95% CI = 1.72–19.60), high triglycerides (OR = 3.89, 95% CI = 1.16–13.03), and low high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (OR = 3.30, 95% CI = 1.18–9.20). Irisin was independently associated with homeostasis model assessment for insulin resistance and general Framingham risk profile in multiple linear regression analyses after adjustment for confounders. Adiponectin demonstrated the expected associations with outcomes. Conclusions: Irisin is associated with increased risk of MetS, cardiometabolic variables, and CVD in humans, indicating either increased secretion by adipose/muscle tissue and/or a compensatory increase of irisin to overcome an underlying irisin resistance in these subjects.

ObjectiveAlthough clinical hypothyroidism (HO) is associated with insulin resistance, there is no information on insulin action in subclinical hypothyroidism (SHO).Design and methodsTo investigate this, we assessed the sensitivity of glucose metabolism to insulin both in vivo (by an oral glucose tolerance test) and in vitro (by measuring insulin-stimulated rates of glucose transport in isolated monocytes with flow cytometry) in 21 euthyroid subjects (EU), 12 patients with HO, and 13 patients with SHO.ResultsAll three groups had comparable plasma glucose levels, with the HO and SHO having higher plasma insulin than the EU (P<0.05). Homeostasis model assessment index was increased in HO (1.97±0.22) and SHO (1.99±0.13) versus EU (1.27±0.16, P<0.05), while Matsuda index was decreased in HO (3.89±0.36) and SHO (4.26±0.48) versus EU (7.76±0.87, P<0.001), suggesting insulin resistance in both fasting and post-glucose state. At 100 μU/ml insulin: i) GLUT4 levels on the monocyte plasma membrane were decreased in both HO (215±19 mean fluorescence intensity, MFI) and SHO (218±24 MFI) versus EU (270±25 MFI, P=0.03 and 0.04 respectively), and ii) glucose transport rates in monocytes from HO (481±30 MFI) and SHO (462±19 MFI) were decreased versus EU (571±15 MFI, P=0.04 and 0.004 respectively).ConclusionsIn patients with HO and SHO: i) insulin resistance was comparable; ii) insulin-stimulated rates of glucose transport in isolated monocytes were decreased due to impaired translocation of GLUT4 glucose transporters on the plasma membrane; iii) these findings could justify the increased risk for insulin resistance-associated disorders, such as cardiovascular disease, observed in patients with HO or SHO.

Abstract Background: Triglyceride-glucose (TyG) index and homeostasis model assessment-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) are related to insulin resistance (IR). The aim of this study was to assess the association between triglyceride-glucose index / HOMA-IR within young adults and congestive heart failure (CHF), and to explore whether triglyceride-glucose index can replace HOMA-IR as a surrogate marker for insulin resistance in predicting the risk of CHF.Methods：A total of 4992 participants between the ages of 18 and 30 were enrolled from the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) investigation (from 1985 to 1986 [year 0]). Cox proportional hazard regression analysis was conducted for assessing correlations between baseline TyG index / HOMA-IR and congestive heart failure events, together with Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curve employed for scrutinizing TyG index / HOMA-IR and he risk of CHF.Results: During the 31-year follow-up period, 64 (1.3%) out of the 4992 participants developed congestive heart failure. In multivariable Cox proportional hazards models, adjusted for confounding factors for CHF, increased risk of CHF was associated with per-unit increase in TyG index (hazard ratio [HR] 2.8; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.7-4.7) and HOMA-IR (HR 1.2; 95%CI, 1.1-1.3). Kaplan-Meier curve analysis showed that participants in the TyG index and HOMA-IR index Q4 group had a higher risk of congestive heart failure than those in the Q1 group. The area under curve (AUC) for TyG index and HOMA-IR consisted of 0.67 (95% CI, 0.6-0.742) and 0.675 (95%CI, 0.604-0.746), respectively. There were no significant differences between TyG index and HOMA-IR for AUC (P = 0.986).Conclusions: TyG index and HOMA-IR are independent risk factors for CHF. The TyG index can replace HOMA-IR in young adulthood as a surrogate marker for IR to predict the risk of CHF.
