Management of calcium in coronaries: Not always as expected

Apollo Medicine, 2022
Percutaneous revascularization of calcified coronary lesions is being performed with increasing frequency. Particularly, in elderly patients at high bleeding risk (HBR), these procedures are rife with technical challenges, which need to be balanced ...

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 ...

Association between Low-Density Lipoprotein Cholesterol and Vascular Biomarkers in Primary Prevention

Biomedicines, 2023
Several noninvasive vascular biomarkers have been proposed to improve risk stratification for atherothrombotic events. To identify biomarkers suitable for detecting intermediate-risk individuals who might benefit from lipid-lowering treatment in primary ...

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 ...

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

Progression of coronary calcification in healthy postmenopausal women

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2004
Background Coronary artery calcium score incrementally improves coronary risk prediction beyond that provided by conventional risk factors. Limited information is available regarding rates of progression of coronary calcification in women, particularly ...

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.

Computed tomography calcium scoring association and reclassification of clinical cardiovascular risk in asymptomatic Mexican patients

SAGE Open Medicine, 2020
Objectives: To establish tailored preventive treatment, we studied the ability of coronary artery calcium scoring to reclassify patients with intermediate cardiovascular risk and its association with additional risk factors in our Mexican preventive care
