The role of inflammation in coronary artery calcification
Ageing Research Reviews, 2007Vascular calcification is an age-dependent, common finding in human coronary arteries and begins as early as the second decade of life, just after fatty streak formation. Previous studies have showed that the severity of coronary calcification is closely related to atherosclerotic plaque burden and cardiac event rate.

Coronary artery calcification and ethnicity
Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography, 2019Differences in risk factors do not fully explain the differences in the prevalence of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) in various ethnicities. Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is an established marker of subclinical coronary artery disease.

Significance of calcification of the coronary arteries
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1970Abstract The frequency of and association between calcification and occlusive disease of the coronary arteries were determined by roentgenographic and pathologic study of 200 human hearts obtained at autopsy of persons more than 30 years old. Calcification was present in 69 percent of the hearts, most frequently in the left anterior descending branch

Coronary Artery Calcification and Coronary Atherosclerotic Disease
Cardiology Clinics, 2012The presence of coronary artery calcium is closely associated with the presence of atherosclerotic lesions in the coronary vasculature. Detection of coronary calcium by imaging techniques has evolved over the last few decades and has become especially more sophisticated with advanced imaging technology.

Coronary calcification in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease
The American Journal of Cardiology, 1979Clinical, postmortem and angiographic studies of coronary calcification are reviewed to define the value of fluoroscopy in the diagnosis and management of coronary artery disease. Autopsy studies consistently show a unique association between calcification of the coronary arteries and atherosclerosis.

Interventional Options for Coronary Artery Calcification
Current Cardiology Reports, 2016Coronary artery calcification is an integral process in atherogenesis. When it is moderate or severe, coronary artery calcification presents several challenges to percutaneous coronary intervention. Historically, these difficulties have caused percutaneous coronary intervention of calcified lesions to be associated with lower rates of procedural ...

Techniques for quantifying coronary artery calcification
Seminars in Ultrasound, CT and MRI, 2003Coronary calcium scoring is increasingly used as a screening test for coronary artery disease. Widespread agreement exists that coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a population marker for intimal atherosclerosis, However, the numerical significance of an individual's calcium score and what impact that score should have on future patient management is ...
