Radial Artery Calcification in Predicting Coronary Calcification and Atherosclerosis Burden

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2022
Background. Atherosclerosis is a systemic arterial disease with heterogeneous involvement in all vascular beds; however, studies examining the relationship between coronary and radial artery calcification are lacking.

Coronary Calcification and Coronary Artery Disease

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2010
Gottlieb et al. ([1][1]) report computed tomography (CT) calcium scores in 291 patients (73% male) being referred for coronary angiography. The majority (95%) had either intermediate or high pre-test probability of coronary disease, and 42 (19.6%) had presented as emergencies with unstable angina.

Fluoroscopic “calcium sign” or reverse “c” sign of the aortic knuckle in a case of chronic total occlusion of left anterior descending coronary artery

Research in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2021
We describe an interesting fluoroscopic calcification of the aortic knuckle assuming a reverse “C” shape in an atherosclerotic aorta in a 42-year-old male presenting with anterior wall ST-elevation myocardial infarction with dyslipidemia.

Elevated serum uric acid increases incident coronary artery calcification risk in Chinese adults undergoing health checkups

Frontiers in Cardiovascular Medicine
BackgroundCoronary artery calcification is a key predictor of cardiovascular disease. However, the association between serum uric acid and incident coronary artery calcification remains controversial, and relevant evidence from Chinese populations is ...

Coronary artery calcification on chest computed tomography scan – Anaesthetic implications

Indian Journal of Anaesthesia, 2019
The significance of coronary artery calcification noted on noncontrast chest computed tomography (CT) scan is unknown. We report a case where coronary artery calcification on chest CT scan incidentally detected in an asymptomatic patient who was found to

Coronary artery calcification and vascular function [PDF]

Journal of Nuclear Cardiology, 2012
Danad et al’s work reported in this issue adds to the growing evidence questioning the strength and the nature of the relationship between the anatomic magnitude of coronary atherosclerosis and its functional consequences on myocardial perfusion. The FAME trial demonstrated that for patients with overt coronary stenosis, a functional flow-guided ...

Cardiovascular Risk Factors and Specific Coronary Artery Calcification in Postmenopausal Women [PDF]

Journal of Tehran University Heart Center, 2009
Background: Myocardial infarctions at different locations have been related to different sets of risk factors. This study was designed to examine the association between cardiovascular risk factors and specific coronary artery calcification (CAC ...

Ayurveda management of severe coronary artery calcification in a triple vessel disease patient - a case report

Journal of Ayurveda and Integrative Medicine
The coronary artery calcium score is a tool for predicting the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD). Severe coronary artery calcification, particularly in the context of triple vessel disease, poses a considerable therapeutic difficulty for standard ...

Detection of coronary artery disease based on the calcification index obtained by helical computed tomography

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2000
OBJECTIVE: To assess the relation between coronary artery disease and the calcification index on helical computed tomography. METHOD: We studied 22 patients (ages ranging from 40 to 70 years) who underwent coronary angiography because of chest pain ...
