Influence of diabetes mellitus on the diagnostic performance of machine learning –based coronary CT angiography–derived fractional flow reserve: a multicenter study

ConclusionsDM has no negative impact on the diagnostic accuracy of machine learning –based FFRCT.Key Points• ML-based FFRCThas a high discriminative accuracy of hemodynamic ischemia, which is not affected by DM.• FFRCTwas superior to the CCTA alone for the detection of ischemia relevance of coronary artery stenosis in both DM and non-DM patients.• Coronary calcification had no significant effect on the diagnostic accuracy of FFRCTto detect ischemia in DM patients.
