Coronary artery calcium in patients with schizophrenia [PDF]

BMC Psychiatry, 2021
Abstract Background Coronary heart disease (CHD) is a major cause of increased mortality rates in patients with schizophrenia. Moreover, coronary artery calcium (CAC) score is associated with CHD. We hypothesized that patients with schizophrenia have more CAC than the general population and aimed to investigate the CAC ...

CORONARY ARTERY CALCIUM FOR RISK STRATIFICATION OF SUDDEN CARDIAC DEATH:THE CORONARY ARTERY CALCIUM CONSORTIUM

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2022
Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a marker of plaque burden. Whether CAC improves risk stratification for incident sudden cardiac death (SCD) beyond atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk factors is unknown.SCD is a common initial manifestation of coronary heart disease (CHD); however, SCD risk prediction remains elusive.The authors studied

Nonlinear relationship between HbA1c and coronary artery calcium score progression: a secondary analysis based on a retrospective cohort study

Diabetology & Metabolic Syndrome, 2021
Objective Coronary artery calcium score and glycated hemoglobin(HbA1c) are both considered risk factors for coronary heart disease. However, the relationship between coronary artery calcium score and HbA1c is still unclear.

Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2011
Numerous clinical studies have shown that coronary artery calcium scoring provides substantial incremental risk prediction beyond conventional coronary risk factors for coronary heart disease events. About half of all patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) present initially with unexpected myocardial infarction or sudden death.

Towards accurate coronary artery calcium segmentation with multi‐scale attention mechanism

IET Image Processing, 2021
Coronary artery calcium is a strong and independent marker of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Typically, the accurate segmentation of computed tomography images of the chest is an important prerequisite and basis for coronary artery calcium ...

Coronary artery calcium progression after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery [PDF]

Open Heart, 2021
Objectives Accelerated atherosclerosis is a well-established phenomenon after coronary artery bypass grafting surgery (CABG). In this study, we analysed coronary artery calcium (CCS) progression after CABG. Methods We retrospectively measured the ...

Deep-Learning-Based Coronary Artery Calcium Detection from CT Image

Sensors, 2021
One of the most common methods for diagnosing coronary artery disease is the use of the coronary artery calcium score CT. However, the current diagnostic method using the coronary artery calcium score CT requires a considerable time, because the ...

Correlation between coronary artery calcium score and aorta diameter in population with long-standing hypertension using noncontrast CT scan

Arterial Hypertension, 2022
BACKGROUND: Early detection of aortic aneurysms is challenging in hypertensive patients due to the high risk of life-threatening ruptures. Limited studies on the relationship between coronary artery calcium and aortic diameter are present.

Coronary artery calcium

Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography, 2019
Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a strong predictor for future cardiovascular events. Traditionally CAC has been quantified using the Agatston score, which was developed in the late 1980s for electron beam tomography (EBT). While EBT has been completely replaced by modern multiple-detector row CT technology, the traditional CAC scoring method by ...
