Coronary calcium screening and coronary risk stratification
Current Atherosclerosis Reports, 2004Current vital statistics clearly indicate a continuing epidemic of cardiovascular disease in the Western hemisphere and strongly suggest that the most desirable approach to this ailment is prevention rather than delayed treatment. Over 7 million people in the United States suffer from coronary artery disease and more than 500,000 die from its ...

Is Calcium a Coronary Vasoconstrictor In Vivo?
Anesthesiology, 1998Background Calcium produces constriction in isolated coronary vessels and in the coronary circulation of isolated hearts, but the importance of this mechanism in vivo remains controversial. Methods The left anterior descending coronary arteries of 20 anesthetized dogs whose chests ...

Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 2001
This article provides the rationale for using helical (aka spiral, conventional, and mechanical) computed tomography (CT) systems from measuring coronary calcium. The current state and active research concerning measuring coronary calcium with single- and multi-slice systems is reviewed.

Alternates to EBCT for coronary calcium
The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging, 2001HCT and EBT imaging of soft plaque and the use of these modalities in CT angiographic applications are important in the non-calcified plaque assessment of coronary artery disease and in the follow-up of treatment.

This chapter reviews the role of coronary artery calcium scoring in clinical settings. Coronary calcium scoring appears most useful for risk stratification of asymptomatic patients with an intermediate risk of subsequent cardiac events.

It is increasingly recognized that only by preventing ischemic heart disease can morbidity and mortality associated with cardiovascular diseases be substantially reduced. There are two main preventive strategies: one that focuses on community-wide measures (“population approach”) and one that focuses on high-risk individuals (“high-risk approach”) (1).

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

Comparison of the coronary calcium score with the estimated coronary risk
Coronary Artery Disease, 2008The role of coronary calcium scoring in coronary risk estimation is not well established. Calcium scoring could provide additional information in a certain subgroup of patients where the calcium score does not match the conventional Framingham risk estimates.
