Echocardiographic Calcium Score of Aortic Valve Correlates with Coronary Artery Calcium Score in Heterozygous Familial Hypercholesterolemia [PDF]

Life
Background: Patients with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HeFH) are at a high risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease. The coronary artery calcification (CAC) score by the Ct-scan Agatston calcium score (ACS) > 100 classifies FH at a ...

Mitral Annulus Calcium Score in Patients With Calcific Mitral Stenosis Undergoing Invasive Hemodynamic Assessment

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease
Background Aortic valve calcium score is associated with hemodynamic severity of aortic stenosis. Whether this association is present in calcific mitral stenosis remains unknown.

The Zero Calcium Score Paradox

JACC: Case Reports
Our study presents a case of angina with a zero calcium score yet severe coronary stenosis from noncalcified plaque. We highlight the limitation of otherwise prognostically powerful coronary calcium score as a singular predictive tool especially when ...

Associations of HDL metrics with coronary artery calcium score and density among women traversing menopause

Journal of Lipid Research, 2021
: The cardioprotective association of high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) may vary by menopause stage or estradiol level. We tested whether associations of comprehensive HDL metrics (HDL subclasses, phospholipid and triglyceride content, and HDL

Coronary artery calcium score on standard of care oncologic CT scans for the prediction of adverse cardiovascular events in patients with non-small cell lung cancer treated with concurrent chemoradiotherapy

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2022
IntroductionChemoradiotherapy (CRT) has been associated with increased incidence of cardiovascular (CV) adverse events (CVAE). Coronary artery calcium scoring (CAC) has shown to predict coronary events beyond the traditional CV risk factors.
