Relationship between Coronary Artery Calcium Score and Coronary Stenosis [PDF]

Cardiology Research and Practice, 2023
Background. The coronary artery calcium score (CACS) is commonly employed to quantify the degree of calcification in coronary atherosclerosis. Indeed, increased coronary stenosis severity is associated with a progressive increase in CACS.

Obstructive Sleep Apnea as a Predictor of a Higher Risk of Significant Coronary Artery Disease Assessed Non-Invasively Using the Calcium Score

Life, 2023
The aim of this study was to assess the coronary artery calcium score in patients with obstructive sleep apnea (OSA). The study group (group A) consisted of 62 patients with diagnosed obstructive sleep apnea (mean age: 59.12 ± 9.09 years, mean AHI index ...

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 ...

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 Artery Calcium Score: Assessment of SYNTAX Score and Prediction of Coronary Artery Disease [PDF]

Cureus, 2021
Background With the advent of modern imaging technologies, non-invasive assessment of the coronary system is not only possible but its complexity and plaque burden can be quantified. This study aims to determine whether calcium score on computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) can be associated with the complexity of coronary artery disease (CAD)

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.

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.

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.

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 ...
