Abstract
Objective To determine the natural history of coronary 18F-fluoride uptake over 12 months in patients with either advanced stable coronary artery disease or a recent myocardial infarction. Methods Patients with established multivessel coronary artery disease and either stable disease or a recent acute myocardial infarction underwent coronary 18F-fluoride positron emission tomography and computed tomography angiography which was repeated at either 3, 6 or 12 months. Coronary 18F-fluoride uptake was assessed in each vessel by measuring the coronary microcalcification activity (CMA). Coronary calcification was quantified by measuring calcium score, mass, and volume. Results Fifty-nine patients had stable coronary artery disease (median age 68 years, 93% male) and fifty-two patients had a recent myocardial infarction (median age 65 years, 83% male). Reflecting the greater burden of coronary artery disease, baseline CMA values were higher in those with stable coronary artery disease. Coronary 18F-fluoride uptake (CMA>0) was associated with higher baseline calcium scores (294 [116–483] versus 72 [8 -222] AU; P<0.001), and more rapid progression of coronary calcification scores (39 [10–82] versus 12 [1–36] AU/year; P<0.001), compared to the absence of uptake (CMA=0). Coronary 18F-fluoride uptake did not markedly alter over the course of 3, 6 or 12 months in patients with either stable coronary artery disease or a recent myocardial infarction. Conclusion Coronary 18F-fluoride uptake is associated with the severity and progression of coronary artery disease but does not undergo rapid dynamic change in patients with stable or unstable coronary artery disease.

- Pretraining has recently greatly promoted the development of natural language processing (NLP)
- We show that M6 outperforms the baselines in multimodal downstream tasks, and the large M6 with 10 parameters can reach a better performance
- We propose a method called M6 that is able to process information of multiple modalities and perform both single-modal and cross-modal understanding and generation
- The model is scaled to large model with 10 billion parameters with sophisticated deployment, and the 10 -parameter M6-large is the largest pretrained model in Chinese
- Experimental results show that our proposed M6 outperforms the baseline in a number of downstream tasks concerning both single modality and multiple modalities We will continue the pretraining of extremely large models by increasing data to explore the limit of its performance
