During catheterization, CAD plaques are often categorized into obstructive or non-obstructive stenosis for revascularization decisions
However, prior studies show no correlation between plaque stenosis and subsequent MI Little WC, et al. Circulation; 78: 1157-1166, 1988
MI rates in CAD patients are reduced with secondary prevention medications
However, CAD patients with non-obstructive stenoses may receive sub-optimal secondary prevention
Study Aims Primary aim: Determine prescription rates of secondary prevention medications among non-obstructive and obstructive CAD patients Secondary aim:Determine prescription rates among non-obstructive CAD patients with clear indications for secondary prevention - ACS, prior MI, or a CAD risk equivalent (CVD, PAD, DM)
~2.5 million cath reports collected between 2004-2007 Final study cohort: 1,489,745 CAD patients from 786 hospitals Study population Excluded: Patients who died/transferred to hospice Patients with missing cath or medication data Patients with no or minimal CAD (luminal irregularities, stenoses < 20%
20% 70% Classification of CAD Non-obstructive CAD All left main stenoses < 50% AND All other stenoses < 70% (N = 237,167, 15.9%) Obstructive CAD Any left main stenosis > 50% OR Any other stenosis > 70% (N = 1,252,578, 84.1%) Excluded from analysis
Statistical Analysis • Primary analysis: Medication rates between non-obstructive and obstructive CAD • Secondary sub-group analysis: Medication rates between those non-obstructive CAD patients with clear indications for secondary prevention and obstructive CAD patients • Multivariable logistic regression using generalized estimating equations • Adjusted for patient, procedure, and hospital characteristics • First-order interaction term to gauge impact of increasing degree of CAD obstruction
Baseline characteristics All p-values <0.001

Sub-group of non-obstructive CAD patients with clear guideline indications for secondary prevention Primary study cohort: 237, 167 patients with non-obstructive CAD Sub-group cohort with ACS, prior MI, or CAD risk equivalent (CVD, PAD, or DM): 170,482 (71.9%)
0.32 (0.3, 0.34) 0.42 (0.4, 0.45) 0.41 (0.39, 0.42) ACS sub-group of non-obstructive CAD patients, compared to obstructive CAD Aspirin Statins Beta-blockers 0.81 (0.78, 0.85) ACEI/ARBs 1 Less likely to receive medication More likely to receive medication
0.42 (0.39, 0.44) 0.54 (0.5, 0.57) 0.52 (0.5, 0.54) Prior MI or CAD risk equivalent sub-group of non-obstructive CAD patients, compared to obstructive CAD Aspirin Statins Beta-blockers 0.85 (0.82, 0.89) ACEI/ARBs 1 Less likely to receive medication More likely to receive medication
Limitations • No core angiography laboratory • Misclassification likely non-differential • Incomplete characterization of medication contraindication • Misclassification likely non-differential • No post-discharge secondary prevention data • Lower rates of discharge medication is associated with lower rates of medication in the out-patient setting
Conclusions • Presence of non-obstructive CAD is significantly and strongly associated with lower rates of secondary prevention prescription at hospital discharge • Lower prescription rates persist among non-obstructive CAD patients with clear indications for secondary prevention
Implications • Improvements in rates of secondary prevention medication prescription among non-obstructive CAD patients with ACS, prior MI, or CAD equivalents are needed • Outcome studies of secondary prevention among patients with non-obstructive CAD without current indications are needed • Non-obstructive CAD may represent an “emerging risk factor”
