Brief Summary: The aim of the VIP study is to investigate the impact of vulnerability markers inflammatory serum biomarkers for systemic vulnerability coronary shear stress and vulnerability mapping for pancoronary vulnerability and imaging-based plaque features for systemic vulnerability on the rate of major adverse cardiovascular events caused by progression of the non-culprit lesion in patients with acute ST or non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction who undergo revascularization of the culprit lesion during the acute event Furthermore the study will evaluate the rate of progression of non-culprit lesions towards a higher degree of vulnerability based on coronary computed tomography angiographic assessment at 1 year after enrollment
Detailed Description: The project is a prospective cohort mono-centric study which will be carried out in the Center of Advanced Research in Multimodal Cardiac Imaging Cardiomed

The project will include 100 subjects who present ST and non-ST segment elevation myocardial infarction at 30 days prior to study enrollment who underwent emergency revascularization of the culprit lesion Samples for systemic serum biomarkers for myocardial injury myocardial strain and enhanced systemic inflammation will be collected at the moment of the acute event All patients will undergo coronary CT angiography cardiac perfusion CT and intracoronary imaging procedures Intravascular ultrasound - IVUS Optical Coherence Tomography - OCT at the moment of enrollment in the study for complex assessment of non-culprit coronary lesions The endothelial coronary shear stress will be calculated with imaging post-processing techniques on the CT data acquired at baseline by using computational fluid dynamics

The study will be conducted over a period of 3 years in which patients will be examined at baseline and during several follow-up visits At the one-year follow-up the study subjects will undergo CT coronary angiography for re-evaluation of the non-culprit lesions in the prospects of analyzing the rate of plaque progression towards a higher degree of vulnerability At the end of the 3-year period patients will be assessed about the occurrence of major adverse cardiovascular events and the rate or revascularization for non-culprit lesions

Study objectives

Primary to investigate the association between systemic pancoronary and local vulnerability features of coronary plaques and the risk for major adverse cardiac events - MACE all-cause mortality cardiovascular death myocardial infarction repeated revascularization repeated hospitalizations for cardiovascular related incidents cerebrovascular events during a 3-year follow-up

Secondary to assess the rate of progression for the non-culprit lesions towards a higher degree of vulnerability as evaluated via coronary CT angiography at 1 year after enrollment in relation to systemic pancoronary and local vulnerability features at baseline

To identify the type of vulnerability systemic pancoronary or local with the highest impact on plaque progression and future MACE
