The association between the apolipoprotein B/A-I ratio and coronary calcification may differ depending on kidney function in a healthy population. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2017
The apolipoprotein B/A-1 ratio has been reported to be one of the strongest risk predictors of cardiovascular events. However, its prognostic value for cardiovascular disease is still uncertain, especially in patients with chronic kidney disease.

Coronary Artery Calcification Revisited

Journal of Atherosclerosis and Thrombosis, 2006
Calcification is a common finding in human coronary arteries. However, there is conflicting evidence for a link between calcification and plaque instability. Current intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) technology allows a definitive detection of the calcification and measurement of the vessel wall.

Sex Differences in Associations of Arterial Compliance With Coronary Artery Plaque and Calcification Burden

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundCoronary artery disease is a leading killer of women. Arterial stiffness predicts myocardial infarction, and postmenopausal women have lower arterial compliance (AC) than men.

Coronary Artery Calcification

JACC: Cardiovascular Imaging, 2017
Coronary artery calcification is the end stage process, which occurs secondary to atherosclerosis. The risk factors for coronary artery calcification are similar to that of early subclinical atherosclerosis. Over time, the vascular smooth muscle cell differentiates and forms mineralized bone in the artery.

Myocardial Radiomics Texture Features Associated with Increased Coronary Calcium Score—First Results of a Photon-Counting CT

Diagnostics, 2022
The coronary artery calcium score is an independent risk factor of the development of adverse cardiac events. The severity of coronary artery calcification may influence the myocardial texture.

Correlation between Systemic Arterial Hypertension and Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 in Central Obese Non-Diabetic Men with Evidence of Coronary Artery Calcification

Indonesian Biomedical Journal, 2011
BACKGROUND: Previous studies have confirmed separately the relationship between obesity, insulin-resistance, hypertension and bone morphogenetic protein-2 (BMP-2) with coronary artery calcification, a parameter of subclinical atherosclerosis. It was also

The correlation between coronary artery, aortic, and mitral valve calcification in patients with coronary atherosclerosis

The Egyptian Journal of Radiology and Nuclear Medicine, 2023
Background Atherosclerosis is the underlying process causing coronary artery calcification. Pathophysiology of aortic and mitral valve calcification has several similarities with coronary atherosclerosis, but their correlation has not been clear ...
