Prevalence and extent of coronary artery disease among patients with a zero calcium score

Zanco Journal of Medical Sciences, 2022
Background and objective: Coronary artery calcium is a specific indicator of and an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. However, calcium scoring may miss non calcified plaques, which were indicated to be of clinical importance.

Coronary calcification in prediction of short and mid-term results of coronary intervention [PDF]

Al-Azhar International Medical Journal, 2023
Background: After percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), excessive coronary calcification might cause negative outcomes. We assessed how the coronary calcium score (CCS), determined by multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT), affected the short and ...

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 ...

Monckeberg calcification of coronary arteries: a string of pearls

Radiology Case Reports, 2022
Coronary artery calcium scores are derived from cardiac-gated noncontrast computed tomography scans that are used in cardiac risk stratification. However, an elevated calcium score does not always translate to coronary artery luminal obstruction.

The association of coronary artery calcium score with glomerular filtration rate and the influence of sex, age, blood pressure, and cholesterol

Medičnì Perspektivi, 2020
Chronic kidney disease puts an individual at a higher risk of all-cause and cardiovascular death. Coronary artery calcium score reflects the accumulation of calcium in the walls of the coronary arteries and a higher coronary artery calcium score is ...
