Assessment of a Serum Assay for Quantification of Abdominal Aortic Calcification [PDF]

Arteriosclerosis, Thrombosis, and Vascular Biology, 2006
Intimal vascular calcification is an important marker of atherosclerosis, and its severity is an independent risk factor for cardiovascular events. Measurement of coronary or aortic calcification requires CT-based imaging and elaborate data analysis to ensure accuracy.

Multivariate linear regression to predict association of non‐invasive arterial stiffness with cardiovascular events

ESC Heart Failure, Volume 12, Issue 2, Page 1141-1150, April 2025.
Abstract Background Arterial stiffness is a crucial factor in determining an increase in systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure and can also predict the development of cardiovascular disease (CVD). The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between arterial stiffness and future CVD.

Inverse association between the extracellular matrix protein Tenascin-X and concurrent abdominal aortic calcification in patients with primary aldosteronism

Frontiers in Endocrinology
BackgroundPatients diagnosed with primary aldosteronism (PA) are at significantly increased risk of abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) and subsequent cardiovascular complications. Notably, abdominal aortic calcification is independently associated with

P1.02 ABDOMINAL AORTIC CALCIFICATION DETECTION USING DUAL-ENERGY X-RAY ABSORPTIOMETRY (DXA): COMPARISON WITH COMPUTED TOMOGRAPHY (CT)

Artery Research, 2009
Background: Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is an independent determinant of cardiovascular events. Computed tomography (CT) is currently the gold standard for measuring aortic calcification but is limited by relatively high radiation exposure ...

Study of Risk Factors and Image Findings of Isolated Abdominal Incidentally Detected Aortic Dissection

Journal of Clinical Ultrasound, Volume 53, Issue 3, Page 429-435, March/April 2025.
We detect the risk factors and image characteristics of incidentally detected IAAD. Independent risk factors of IAAD included fatty liver and smoking. In the ultrasound findings of IAAD, an intimal flap was frequently observed. In the CT scan, displacement of intimal calcifications was frequently observed. For suspected IAAD, the abdominal aorta should
