Key Points

The study aims to explore the combined prognostic value of FAI and AMR in predicting MACE after PCI in NSTEMI patients.
Retrospective cohort of 508 NSTEMI patients after successful PCI and pre-procedural CCTA.
Measured FAI and AMR to assess microvascular dysfunction.
Performed mediation analysis and Cox regression to evaluate predictive relationships.
MACE occurred in 146 patients (28.7%) during a median follow-up of 620 days.
High FAI and AMR identified as independent predictors of MACE (HR 1.03 and HR 1.75, respectively).
Combined 'High AMR/High FAI' phenotype had the highest risk for MACE, improving prediction over baseline clinical models.
