The prognostic impact of vascular calcification on abdominal aortic aneurysm progression [PDF]
The maximal aortic diameter is currently the only clinically applied predictor of abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) progression. It is known that the risk of rupture is associated with aneurysm size; hence, accurate monitoring of AAA expansion is crucial.

Identification of dietary components in association with abdominal aortic calcification
Food & Function, 2023The findings of this study indicate that adopting a dietary pattern characterized by high levels of protein and plant-based foods, as well as reduced levels of fat, may offer potential advantages for the prevention of AAC.

CT analysis of aortic calcifications to predict abdominal aortic aneurysm rupture
European Radiology, 2023Abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) rupture prediction based on sex and diameter could be improved. The goal was to assess whether aortic calcification distribution could better predict AAA rupture through machine learning and LASSO regression.In this retrospective study, 80 patients treated for a ruptured AAA between January 2001 and August 2018 were ...

Diabetes and Abdominal Aortic Calcification—a Systematic Review
Current Osteoporosis Reports, 2018A systematic literature review was performed to evaluate diabetes mellitus (DM) as a risk factor of abdominal aortic calcification (AAC), and address factors that might contribute to the development of AAC in DM patients.DM is an independent risk factor of AAC development.

Assessment and significance of abdominal aortic calcification in chronic kidney disease. [PDF]
Abdominal aortic calcification is a common complication and a predictor of cardiovascular mortality in dialysis patients. However, abdominal aortic calcification in pre-dialysis chronic kidney disease (CKD) is poorly understood.A cohort study of 101 adult Japanese patients (mean age 66.6 +/- 11.3 years old) with pre-dialysis CKD (18, 29 and 54 in ...

Relationship between CT anthropometric measurements, adipokines and abdominal aortic calcification
Background: Visceral obesity and aortic calcification are both associated with cardiovascular events. The purpose of this study was to examine if visceral obesity was associated with the severity of abdominal aortic calcification.

Abdominal aortic calcification is independently associated with lumbar endplate degeneration
European Spine Journal, 2023Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is associated with lower back pain, reduced bone mineral density of the spine. Vascular changes could also affect the already sparsely perfused intervertebral endplate and intervertebral disc.Lumbar MRIs and lateral radiographs of patients with lower back pain were retrospectively analyzed.

Association of lumbar fractures, abdominal aortic calcification, and osteopenia
Clinical Imaging, 2015The purpose was to assess if abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) and low bone mineral density (BMD) are associated with fractures on lumbar spine radiographs in trauma patients.Retrospectively, 303 consecutive lumbar radiographs were independently reviewed by two radiologists for AAC, low BMD, and traumatic findings.Thirty-one percent of patients had ...

Unraveling the link between metabolic syndrome and abdominal aortic calcification
Nutrition, Metabolism and Cardiovascular Diseases, 2021Over the last few decades, the prevalence of metabolic syndrome (MetS) has gradually increased. As we know, many prior studies have connected MetS with diabetes, coronary heart disease, and cardiovascular disease. Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is a good marker of morbidity and mortality of vascular disease, as its degree may be associated with ...
