Popis: Background: In this study, we aimed to investigate the added prognostic value of fat attenuation index (FAI) and CT-derivedfractional flow (CT-FFR) over plaque burden in suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) patients without standard modifiablerisk factors (SMuRFs). Methodology: A total of 260 consecutive suspected CAD subjects without SMuRFs who underwent first coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) were retrospectively collected. We calculated FAI, CT-FFR, and segment involvement score (SIS) from CCTA images. Cox regression models were used to assess the incremental prognostic value of FAI and CT-FFR. Results: During a median follow-up of 25.00 months, major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) were observed in 40 (15.4%) patients. FAI ≥ −70.1, CT-FFR ≤ 0.80, and SIS ≥ 4.5 were associated with the increased rate of MACE (P < 0.0001). FAI did not provide incremental prognostic value over SIS (P = 0.169). Likewise, CT-FFR did not enhance risk prediction (P = 0.159). Combining FAI and CT-FFR added incremental prediction value and improved risk discrimination (P = 0.032; Absolute integrate discrimination improvement (IDI) = 0.070, P < 0.001). Conclusion: In suspected CAD patients without SMuRFs, neither FAI nor CT-FFR independently added incremental prognostic value over plaque burden. Combining FAI and CT-FFR had added prognostic value and improved cardiovascular risk stratification. Keywords: Coronary artery disease; CT-derived fractional flow reserve; fat attenuation index; plaque burden; standard cardiovascularrisk factor; prognosis.
