Breast artery calcification as a predictor of coronary artery calcification: a cross-sectional study
Polish Journal of Radiology, 2020 IntroductionCoronary artery disease is the main cause of burden of disease in the world. Coronary calcification is seen as an aetiopathological event in the pathogenesis of cardiovascular diseases. Studies have shown that breast artery calcification, which is routinely found in mammography of elderly women, could be predictive of coronary artery ...

Arterial Calcifications in β-Thalassemia
Angiology, 1998 The purpose of this study was to define the incidence of arterial calcifications in patients with β-Thalassemia. β-thalassemia patients have been shown to present a high preva lence of angioid streaks and skin lesions characteristic of pseudoxanthoma elasticum (PXE).

European Journal of Clinical Investigation, 2013 AbstractBackgroundArterial calcification (AC) is a major health problem associated with extreme morbidity and a shortened survival. It is currently without any effective treatment.ATPand the purinergic system in general are now emerging as being important in the pathogenesis ofACand potentially provide a new focus for novel therapies.MethodsThis review
