Coronary artery calcium, coronary artery disease, and diabetes
Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice, 2001Diabetes is a known risk factor for cardiovascular disease, which is the leading cause of death in the US. Most sufferers are unaware that they have coronary artery disease, and death is often quite sudden. Electron beam computed tomography (EBCT) is a non-invasive procedure that detects coronary artery disease (CAD) by measuring the amount of coronary

Coronary Artery Anomalies: Detection on Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring Scan
American Journal of Roentgenology, 2010 The objective of this study was to evaluate the accuracy of coronary artery calcium scanning in identifying coronary anomalies and potentially high-risk interarterial courses.Ninety-five consecutive patients who were diagnosed with a coronary anomaly on CT coronary angiography were enrolled, and 95 age- and sex-matched individuals in whom any coronary ...

Coronary artery calcium and its relationship to coronary artery disease
Cardiology Clinics, 2003Electron-beam computed tomography (EBCT) and the recent generation of multi-slice computed tomography scanners (MSCT) permit high-resolution imaging of the beating heart and the coronary arteries. The visualization of coronary calcium offers the opportunity to non-invasively obtain direct information on coronary anatomy and plaque burden.

Coronary artery calcium in hypertension: a review
Journal of the American Society of Hypertension, 2015Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a powerful independent predictor of future cardiovascular events. However, the clinical utility of calcium score testing specifically among patients with hypertension is not well defined. We performed a review of studies involving both high blood pressure (BP) and CAC to assess several aspects of the interrelationship ...

Pathophysiology of Calcium Deposition in Coronary Arteries
Herz, 2001BACKGROUND AND MORPHOLOGIC STUDIES: Because coronary artery calcification correlates highly with plaque burden, it is an excellent disease marker for atherosclerosis. However, it is not a sensitive indicator of disease activity, and does not predict luminal compromise because of compensatory remodeling. In addition, most data do not support the concept

Interpreting the Coronary-Artery Calcium Score
New England Journal of Medicine, 2012Though coronary-artery calcium scoring is not helpful in screening for coronary artery disease in many cases, it's advertised to consumers, and those with positive scores are told to see their physician. How should physicians interpret the scores and counsel patients?
