Carotid artery calcification [PDF]

QJM, 2016
A 90-year-old man with a history of hypertension presented with shortness of breath and lightheadedness while exertion for several months. On examination, he was conscious, with auscultation showing clear breath sounds and regular heart sounds without murmurs or carotid bruits. A posteroanterior chest …

Coronary Artery Calcification [PDF]

Global Heart, 2016
Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is an established marker of subclinical atherosclerosis and an independent predictor of future coronary heart disease in the asymptomatic primary prevention population, particularly in the intermediate risk cohort. CAC also helps in reclassifying those patients and their risk of cardiovascular events into higher or ...

Lower-extremity arterial calcification as a correlate of coronary artery calcification [PDF]

Metabolism, 2006
Coronary artery calcification (CAC) has been used as a testing modality for coronary atherosclerosis burden. In diabetes, arterial calcification in the tunica media is common and predicts renal and cardiovascular mortality. It is unknown whether the 2 calcification processes are related.

Role of Inflammation in Arterial Calcification [PDF]

Korean Circulation Journal, 2021
Arterial calcification, characterized by calcium phosphate deposition in the arteries, can be divided into intimal calcification and medial calcification. The former is the predominant form of calcification in coronary artery plaques; the latter mostly affects peripheral arteries and aortas. Both forms of arterial calcification have strong correlations

Serum concentration and vascular expression of adiponectin are differentially associated with the diabetic calcifying peripheral arteriopathy

Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome, 2019
Background Medial calcification in diabetes contributes to the arterial occlusive process occurring below the knee level. Adiponectin is an adipokine with atheroprotective properties and possible protective role against arterial calcification. The aim of

Circulating Receptor Activator of Nuclear Factor kB Ligand and triglycerides are associated with progression of lower limb arterial calcification in type 2 diabetes: a prospective, observational cohort study

Cardiovascular Diabetology, 2020
Background Lower limb arterial calcification is a frequent, underestimated but serious complication of diabetes. The DIACART study is a prospective cohort study designed to evaluate the determinants of the progression of lower limb arterial calcification

Smooth Muscle–Selective Nuclear Factor‐κB Inhibition Reduces Phosphate‐Induced Arterial Medial Calcification in Mice With Chronic Kidney Disease

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundHyperphosphatemia is a major factor promoting the formation of arterial medial calcification in chronic kidney disease (CKD). However, arterial medial calcification begins to occur during the early stages of CKD, when hyperphosphatemia is not ...

Associations between Thyroid Hormones, Calcification Inhibitor Levels and Vascular Calcification in End-Stage Renal Disease. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2015
Vascular calcification is a common, serious and elusive complication of end-stage renal disease (ESRD). As a pro-calcifying risk factor, non-thyroidal illness may promote vascular calcification through a systemic lowering of vascular calcification ...

Calciphylaxis: Severe Calcification of the Arteries [PDF]

Journal of General Internal Medicine, 2012
A 65-year-old man with diabetes mellitus and end-stage renal disease, on dialysis for 6 years, developed painful lesions on both hands 3 months prior to evaluation. Examination showed firm, tender, violaceous lesions with early ulceration on both hypothenar eminences, and exquisitely tender purple macules on fingertips without ulceration (Fig.

Chronic Kidney Disease-Induced Arterial Media Calcification in Rats Prevented by Tissue Non-Specific Alkaline Phosphatase Substrate Supplementation Rather Than Inhibition of the Enzyme

Pharmaceutics, 2021
Patients with chronic kidney disease (CKD) suffer from arterial media calcification and a disturbed bone metabolism. Tissue-nonspecific alkaline phosphatase (TNAP) hydrolyzes the calcification inhibitor pyrophosphate (PPi) into inorganic phosphate (Pi ...
