Coronary artery calcium in primary prevention

Australian Journal of General Practice, 2020
Identifying high-risk asymptomatic individuals remains the cornerstone of cardiovascular disease prevention. Coronary artery calcium is a highly specific marker of atherosclerosis that can be quantified using non-contrast computed tomography. The resulting calcium score has the capacity to improve current methods of risk stratification.The aim of this ...

Upregulation of 5-hydroxytryptamine receptor signaling in coronary arteries after organ culture. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2014
5-Hydroxytryptamine (5-HT) is a powerful constrictor of coronary arteries and is considered to be involved in the pathophysiological mechanisms of coronary-artery spasm. However, the mechanism of enhancement of coronary-artery constriction to 5-HT during

Coronary Artery Calcium [PDF]

Circulation, 2006
Surrogate markers of atherosclerosis such as treadmill time, serum tests, coronary artery calcium, and carotid intimal thickness enjoy considerable attention and the promise of yielding answers at much less cost and time than clinical trials using hard clinical outcomes such as myocardial infarction and cardiac death.

Comparison of Coronary Artery Calcium Scores with Platelet Volume and Uric Acid Levels in Patients Who Underwent Coronary Artery Imaging with Computed Tomography

İstanbul Medical Journal, 2015
Objective: The aim of this study is to evaluate the association of coronary artery calcium score and the increased risk of coronary artery disease with mean platelet volume (MPV) and uric acid.Methods: For this retrospective study, patients with a ...

Evaluation of the Relation between Serum Level of High-Sensitivity Reactive Protein (HS-CRP) and Coronary Calcification with the Presence of Coronary Artery Disease in Computed Tomography Angiography

مجله دانشکده پزشکی اصفهان, 2019
Background: Some studies showed that two factors of calcium score and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (HS-CRP) are related with coronary artery disease, but no definitive theory has been provided.

Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring

Investigative Radiology, 2021
Objectives Although the Agatston score is a commonly used quantification method, rescan reproducibility is suboptimal, and different CT scanners result in different scores. In 2007, McCollough et al (Radiology 2007;243:527–538) proposed a standard for coronary artery calcium quantification.

Coronary artery calcium on lung cancer screening-CT: An opportunity to optimize cardiovascular disease risk reduction

International Journal of Cardiology: Heart & Vasculature
Background: In lung cancer screening trials, mortality from cardiovascular disease occurs at similar rates to lung cancer deaths. Survival following lung cancer screening could be optimized if atherosclerosis prevention was targeted.

Management of Coronary Artery Calcium and Coronary CTA Findings [PDF]

Current Cardiovascular Imaging Reports, 2015
Coronary artery calcium (CAC) testing and coronary computed tomography angiography (CTA) have significant data supporting their ability to identify coronary artery disease (CAD) and classify patient risk for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD).
