16% vs 10% (HR 1.50, 95% CI 1.04– 2.17; P=0.032), stroke 5% vs 2% (HR 2.25, 95% CI 0.93– 5.48; P=0.073)). It should be empha­sized that given the restrictive inclusion/ exclusion anatomical cri­teria of NOBLE, with more than three non- complex lesions and all ‘complex’ lesions eectively excluded, NOBLE was a comparison of outcomes between CABG and PCI among a patient subgroup that was relatively ‘PCI friendly’. Conversely, given the long re­cruitment period of NOBLE (>6years), that systematic screening logs were not available in 31 of the 36 centres and the lack of an ‘all- comers’ design, there are concerns about signicant selection bias in the trial— an issue that had plagued earlier pre- SYNTAX CABG vs. PCI trials.–  Comparatively, within EXCEL, the design was ‘all- comers’ for patients up to intermediate anatomical com­plexity (SYNTAX Score <33), and importantly screened patients were captured in registries.
Reasons for the diverging results between EXCEL (‘neutral’) and NOBLE (favours CABG) have been extensively debated. However, in reality both trials are likely pointing in the same direction, namely CABG oers a more favourable net clinical benet in patients with more complex CAD, and that the ‘downstream’ anatomical complexity— i.e. plaque burden— and patient clinical co- morbidity, as exemplied in the SYNTAX score II, is what drives long terms outcomes to favour CABG over PCI.
As previously stated, unlike in NOBLE, it is important to empha­size that in EXCEL, there was a registry (n=1000) to allow docu­mentation of treatment choice for all screened patients who could not be randomized. Based on additional analyses of the screening registry in EXCEL, the investigators estimated that approximately 62% of all patients with ULMCA may be eligible for PCI, and ap­proximately 80% may be eligible for CABG. Longer- term follow- up (10years) of both trials, with analyses of important subgroups, and the impact of site vs. corelab anatomical SYNTAX Scores, may shed further light on the reasons for the dierences in outcomes between EXCEL and NOBLE.
Sex
Within SYNTAX, the presence of female sex was shown to be an
further evidence to support the sex hypothesis,, namely that lower SYNTAX scores are needed in women with complex CAD to allow for equipoise in long- term mortality between CABG and PCI. The main hypotheses to account for these findings is that women with complex CAD may have a plaque burden with a more unfavourable plaque composition, particularly with the progressive loss, with advancing age, of the protective effects of oestrogen.,,
Diabetes
e absence of diabetic status from the SYNTAX score II has proven to be a point of confusion and controversy, particularly because it appears to be odds with international revascularization guidelines. During the initial development of the SYNTAX score II, it was demonstrated that diabetes was not an independent pre­dictor of mortality in patients with complex artery disease from the SYNTAX Trial when corrected for the end organ manifestations of diabetes. ese factors included the anatomical SYNTAX score and age/ creatinine clearance/ LVEF expressed as continuous (numer­ical) variables.
It should be emphasized that the SYNTAX score II was built on the seminal work undertaken by a cardiac surgeon (Ranucci etal.) who demonstrated that a simple integer— derived from three clin­ical variables expressed as a continuous variable (age, preopera­tive serum creatinine, and LVEF)— was at least comparable to the EuroSCORE (composed of 17 variables) in predicting in- hospital mortality aer CABG (Fig. 9.9).– 
e nding that the presence of diabetes in itself to not provide any further prognostic (or decision- making) information once the anatomical SYNTAX score and age/ creatinine clearance/ LVEF (ex­pressed numerically) were accounted for, is supported by population­based data. Within these studies it was demonstrated that individuals with CKD and proteinuria, but without diabetes, to have a stronger association with the risk of myocardial infarction and a higher rate of mortality, compared to those with diabetes, and that the relative risk of long- term mortality associated with CKD was “much the same ir­respective of the presence or absence of diabetes.”– 
independent correlate for long- term mortality in the PCI arm. Within the CABG arm this was not evident, with the result that sub­stantially lower anatomical SYNTAX scores were required to allow for equipoise for long- term mortality between CABG and PCI., During the development of the SYNTAX score II, the interaction

Within the DELTA registry (n=2891), in which the SYNTAX score II was ori­ginally externally validated, a similar nding for female sex on long­term mortality was made (HR CABG 0.52 (95% CI 0.31– 0.87), HR PCI 1.09 (95% CI 0.82– 1.46), interaction eect 2.09 (95% CI 1.16–

substantial trend towards more favourable outcomes (primary endpoint of all- cause death, myocardial infarction, or stroke) for CABG compared to PCI in women (HR male 0.87 (95% CI
0.66– 1.14), HR female 1.48 (95% CI 0.93– 2.41); P- value for inter-
action 0.06). Although external validation of the SYNTAX score II is awaited from EXCEL, this finding nevertheless provides
In international guidelines, diabetes has been regarded diabetes as a unique cardiovascular risk factor,–  and the American College of Cardiology/ American Heart Association guidelines recommend that patients with diabetes mellitus be treated as having a CAD equivalent. It is well established that the atherosclerotic vascular disease process is accelerated in diabetes, both type Iand type II, predisposing to a two- to fourfold increase in the development of CAD compared to non- diabetic patients and with 75% of diabetic patients dying as a result of a cardiovascular cause., In addition, diabetic patients (compared to those without diabetes) have been shown to have a substantially higher incidence of multivessel dis­ease and greater plaque burden at presentation, with the severity of the CAD proportional to the duration of diabetes. is is un­doubtedly related to the metabolic abnormalities characteristic of diabetes that provoke molecular mechanisms that contribute to

Timing ofrevascularization indiabetes
e question of timing and mode of revascularization for dia­betic patients (or indeed any patient) with complex CAD is not yet resolved. Currently, guidelines support CABG as the primary revascularization modality when a diabetic patient develops 3VD on the assumption that the degree of plaque burden is so extensive that bypass graing oers a prophylactic benet against future events. On the one hand, oering diabetic patients CABG too early, par­ticularly with limited plaque burden, may increase the potential risk of the gras failing in the long- term, although this risk may be reduced by the appropriate use of multiple arterial conduits. On the other hand, by oering CABG to diabetic patients too late, the perioperative risks of CABG may be increased because of increasing patient comorbidity and frailty, extensive diuse coronary disease, or too distal stent implantation precluding optimal gra placement, thereby diminishing the potential mortality advantage of CABG.,
Striking the balance between these two scenarios is the challenge for the Heart Team in clinical practice (Fig. 9.10), and is where clin­ical tools— such as the anatomical SYNTAX score or SYNTAX score II— may aid in providing more objective evidence to guide recom­mendations for intervention, which modality, and its timing.
Finally, it is crucial not to under- estimate the vital role played by guideline- directed optimal medical therapy and lifestyle modi­cation, in substantially reducing adverse clinical events in patients with complex CAD, in both diabetic and non- diabetic patients.– 
Ongoingstudies
SYNTAX IItrial
In the ongoing SYNTAX II trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identi­er:NCT02015832), the SYNTAX score II is being used by the Heart Team as a tool to recruit subjects with de novo three- vessel CAD (without le main involvement) who have a postulated similar long- term mortality between CABG and PCI (Fig. 9.11, upper panel). Notably, subjects from all tertiles of the SYNTAX score are eligible. As in the single arm study of ARTS- II (that led on to the randomised SYNTAX Trial), SYNTAX II is a single- arm study, with the CABG and PCI arms of the original SYNTAX trial being used as historical control arms. e SYNTAX II PCI strategy utilizes appropriate patient selection with the SYNTAX score II, a newer­generation metal DES platform with a biodegradable polymer, contemporary CTO revascularization strategies, and functional/ intravascular ultrasound- guided stent implantation. Importantly, the use of functional- guided PCI in SYNTAX II leading to a de­ferral of PCI in almost one- third of lesions (31%) (Fig. 9.11, lower le panel) compared to the original SYNTAX trial, where inter­vention was solely determined on angiographic visual grounds.

addition, 87% of attempted CTOs were successfully revascularized (compared to 53% in the original SYNTAX trial), and intravascular ultrasound guidance was used in 84.1% of patients (compared to

led to substantially improved clinical outcomes compared to the PCI strategy adopted in SYNTAX I(Fig. 9.11, lower right panel). Moreover, clinical outcomes were similar in 3VD patients with a low anatomical SYNTAX s core (≤22)— in which revascularization guidelines currently support PCI or CABG— compared to more anatomically complex 3VD (anatomical SYNTAX score >22) in which current revascularization guidelines support CABG. Notably, at an early follow- up of only 2years no safety concerns were identied despite deferral of stenting in almost one- third of lesions— with no increase in myocardial infarction in the territory of the initially deferred lesions. It will be important to see if the same holds true at 5years and longer of follow- up.
Exploratory endpoint comparing CABG withPCI
In the exploratory comparison of the SYNTAX II PCI strategy to the predened CABG cohort from the original SYNTAX trial, equipoise in MACCE was evident at early (2- year) follow- up. Notably, there was an absence of convergence and crossing over of endpoints for CABG and PCI at 2years, which was evident in ARTS Iand II.,
Consequently, a minimum of 5- year follow- up is essential to truly
evaluate any potential benet of the SYNTAX II strategy.

Now several studies have independently retrospect­ively validated this concept utilizing the anatomical SYNTAX score alone.–  In addition, the ongoing SYNTAX II trial has prospect­ively developed a non- invasive, MSCT- derived SYNTAX score II in patients with de novo 3VD.

SYNTAX III Revolution trial— non- invasive Heart Team assessment ofmultivessel coronary disease withcoronary CTangiography
e SYNTAX III Revolution trial (ClinicalTrials.gov identier NCT02813473) is designed to provide evidence in decision- making by randomizing two Heart Teams— composed of a cardiac surgeon, radi­ologist, and interventional cardiologist— to develop a ‘virtual’ treat­ment decision (CABG or PCI) in patients with le main or de novo 3VD, using information received strictly from non- invasive MSCT angiography with functional assessment (HeartFlow), or from conven­tional invasive angiography (Fig. 9.12). e study was conducted in 223 patients over an 18- month period in six participating European centres with statistical interpretation of the level of agreement between the two Heart Teams in terms of their treatment decision based on the MSCT- rst assessment or angiography- rst evaluation.
Treatment decisions were shown to be matched in 92.8% of pa­tients (Cohen’s kappa coecient 0.82; 95% CI 0.73– 0.91). In add­ition, CTFFR was shown to be feasible in 196/ 223 patients, and changed the treatment decision in 7% of patients, mostly from CABG to PCI. Notably, the Heart Team agreed on the number of bypasses, how many stents should be used, and their location in the coronary circulation in 80% of cases.

Conclusion
Currently, best evidence dictates that CABG is superior to PCI for the majority of patients with multivessel CAD with SYNTAX scores greater than 22 and those with le main disease with SYNTAX scores greater than 32. ere is, however, little doubt that decision­making in complex CAD is becoming increasingly multifaceted and that clinical tools are needed to simplify the process and to make it more objective for the Heart Team. In evaluating the existing evidence basis for decision- making, it is vital to understand the se­lection of patients entered into trials and the duration of follow- up,
Clinical treatment
which must be an absolute minimum of 5years; indeed, even 5- year follow- up should only be considered an ‘interim analysis’, as such data are generally applied to decision- making for patients whose life expectancy greatly exceeds 5years.
While current European guidelines (Table 9.1) advocate using the anatomical SYNTAX score to aid in this process, clinicians find this process time- consuming and cumbersome, and as highlighted in SYNTAX and EXCEL, a significant disparity exists between site- versus core laboratory- analysed anatom­ical SYNTAX scores which may have a detrimental impact on patient care.
Reecting the importance of clinical factors in decision- making between CABG and PCI, their incorporation into the SYNTAX score II appears to circumvent some of the issues related to dier­ences in on- site versus core laboratory analyses, while simultan­eously improving decision- making between CABG and PCI on the

Lifestyle management and secondary prevention ofcoronary arterydisease
Mansoor Ahmad, Sandra A. Weiss, and William S. Weintraub
Introduction
work, gardening, and household work. is results in improved cardiorespiratory tness and moves patients out of the least t, least
Cardiovascular (CV) disease has been the leading cause of death in industrialized nations since the early 1900s. According to the American Heart Association (AHA), there are more than 1million new and recurrent cardiac events occurring each year. ose with a history of cardiac ischaemic events have a high risk of recurrent events; however, the death rate from coronary artery disease (CAD) declined from 1995 to 2005 by 26%. us, the burden of chronic non- fatal CAD remains high and therefore underscores the import­ance of secondary prevention measures.
Clinical studies have shown that eective secondary prevention can reduce mortality and improve quality of life. Secondary preven­tion comprises medical therapy, therapeutic lifestyle changes, and revascularization in the form of coronary artery bypass graing or percutaneous coronary intervention. From 1980 to 2000, CV death rates in the United States have decreased by 50% with improvements in CV risk factors, especially reduction in tobacco use and better cholesterol and hypertension management accounting for most of this dramatic decrease.
In this chapter we will focus on lifestyle modication, which is con­sidered a major component of secondary prevention. Eectiveness of lifestyle modications in reducing mortality has been proven. In patients with CAD, smoking cessation, physical activity, and dietary changes have shown mortality reduction of between 20% and 35%, comparable to eect size estimates of cardioprotective drugs.
active high- risk cohort.
Effect onmorbidity andmortality
In one analysis, it was estimated that just by eliminating phys­ical inactivity, 6% of CAD worldwide can be eliminated and life expectancy of the world population may increase by 0.68years. A meta- analysis of secondary prevention programmes that in­cluded 63 randomized trials and 21,295 patients with CAD showed exercise- based programmes signicantly reduced mortality risk (risk ratio 0.72, 95% condence interval (CI) 0.54– 0.95). Of note, the survival benet seen in recent trials was similar to that seen two decades earlier, which was before the development of current cardioprotective drug regimens. is therefore demonstrates an incremental benet of physical activity over medicinal therapies that are shown to be eective in secondary prevention. Another demonstrated benet of long- term exercise training is possible attenuation of unfavourable remodelling of the le ventricle in postinfarction patients.

Physicalactivity
Physical activity is known to reduce comorbid risk factors, improve quality of life, and is a major component of secondary prevention of CAD. AHA guidelines recommend a goal of 30– 60 minutes of moderate- intensity aerobic activity, such as brisk walking, at least 5days and preferably 7days per week.
Regular physical activity should also be supplemented by an in­crease in daily lifestyle activities that can include walking breaks at
