The Evaluation of Calcium Score Validity in the Diagnosis of Patients with Coronary Artery Disease by Using CT Angiography

Diyala Journal of Medicine, 2019
Background: Coronary artery disease is one of important diseases as in many cases ends up with death. Among many types of coronary artery disease is the lipoprotein plaque deposition on the artery wall. Many reports appeared in the literature concerning

Carotid Intima‐Media Thickness Score, Positive Coronary Artery Calcium Score, and Incident Coronary Heart Disease: The Multi‐Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundCommon carotid artery and internal carotid artery intima‐media thicknesses (IMT) are associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) and increase with age. Using age, sex, and race/ethnicity IMT percentiles may improve CHD prediction when added to

Relationship Between Sleep Apnea and Coronary Artery Calcium in Patients With Ischemic Stroke

Frontiers in Neurology, 2019
Study Objectives: Coronary artery disease is considered to be the major cause of death amongst patients with ischemic stroke. The coronary artery calcium (CAC) score is related not only to sleep-disordered breathing, but also with future risk of ...

Assessment of Pericardial Fat Volume by Cardiac CT and Its Relation With Coronary Heart Diseases

Egyptian Journal of Critical Care Medicine, 2023
Background Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Pericardial fat includes both epicardial (located within the pericardium) and paracardial fat (located superficial to the pericardium).

Patient‐Derived 3D Heart‐On‐a‐Chip Model of Dilated Cardiomyopathy With Embedded Bead‐Based Mapping of Tissue Contractility

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
A heart‐on‐a‐chip model of dilated cardiomyopathy is developed from patient‐derived induced pluripotent stem cells. The model recapitulates key disease phenotypes and enables functional assessment through integrated bead‐based tracking and pillar deflection measurements.

Comparison of non-invasive methods for the detection of coronary atherosclerosis

Clinics, 2009
BACKGROUND: Non-invasive detection of atherosclerosis is critical for its prevention. OBJECTIVE: To correlate non-invasively detectable indicators of coronary atherosclerosis, or Coronary Artery Disease (i.e., classical risk factors, hs-CRP test results,

The value of coronary calcium score in predicting clinical outcomes in patients with chronic coronary syndrome

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders
Background Coronary artery atherosclerosis and calcification are the precursors to the development of coronary artery disease and its complications. Coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) is useful as a risk-stratification tool in coronary artery disease.

Association Between Measures of Body Composition and Coronary Calcium: Findings From the Multi‐Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2023
Background Obesity, as measured by body mass index, is widely recognized as a risk factor for the development of cardiovascular disease. However, the role of body composition components such as fat and lean mass is not well studied. Methods and Results A
