Clinical Relevance of Serum Selenium Levels and Abdominal Aortic Calcification
Biological Trace Element Research, 2020Selenium (Se) is an essential micronutrient with antioxidative properties, but previous studies have shown that extremely high circulating Se concentrations are associated with a higher prevalence of cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). To date, it remains unknown whether this association has connections with arterial calcification.

Abdominal Aortic Calcifications Predict Survival in Peritoneal Dialysis Patients
Peritoneal Dialysis International: Journal of the International Society for Peritoneal Dialysis, 2018Background Peripheral arterial disease and vascular calcifications contribute significantly to the outcome of dialysis patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the prognostic role of severity of abdominal aortic calcifications and peripheral arterial disease on outcome of peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients

Background: Multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT) is more and more used for evaluation and quantification of coronary artery calcification, but correlation between the degree of calcification and occurrence of clinical events is also known for other vascular beds such as the aorta.

Annals of Vascular Surgery, 2016
Severe calcification of the aorta or iliac vessels remains a major concern when planning open or endovascular treatment of an abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA). Therefore, we present a unique case of an AAA with concomitant severe calcification of the entire infrarenal aortoiliac region and discuss on proper management.A 70-year-old patient with a ...

Vitamin D status and abdominal aortic calcification in postmenopausal women
Journal of Bone and Mineral Metabolism, 2017Vitamin D has an important role in bone metabolism and may be involved in the process of vascular calcification. The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of vitamin D status on the presence of abdominal aortic calcification (AAC). We enrolled, in a cross-sectional study, 429 postmenopausal women [mean age, weight, and BMI of 59.5 ± 8.3 ...

Abdominal Aortic Calcification: Clinical Significance, Mechanisms and Therapies
Current Pharmaceutical Design, 2014Traditionally abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) has received less intensive study than coronary artery calcification. The widespread use of abdominal imaging has however encouraged recent investigation of this problem. Human association studies suggest that older age, chronic kidney disease and osteoporosis are the most important risk factors for ...

Abdominal aortic calcification: A reappraisal of epidemiological and pathophysiological data
Bone, 2016In men and women, there is a significant association between the risk of cardiovascular event (myocardial infarction, stroke) and risk of major fragility fracture (hip, vertebra). Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) can be assessed using semiquantitative scores on spine radiographs and spine scans obtained by DXA.

Impact of Abdominal Aortic Calcification Among Liver Transplantation Recipients
Liver Transplantation, 2019Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is known as a risk factor of coronary artery disease, stroke, hyperphosphatemia, chronic inflammation, diabetes, and decreased estimated glomerular filtration rate. However, the clinical implications of incidental AAC findings in liver transplantation (LT) have not been evaluated in terms of posttransplantation ...
