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 role of coronary artery calcium estimation in the primary prevention strategy for cardiovascular diseases

Zaporožskij Medicinskij Žurnal, 2023
Calcification is one of the stages of complicated and uncomplicated atherosclerotic plaque development. Determination of calcium deposits in the composition of plaques by the method of multispiral computer tomography allows to assess the coronary ...

Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring

Reviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2011
Numerous clinical studies have shown that coronary artery calcium scoring provides substantial incremental risk prediction beyond conventional coronary risk factors for coronary heart disease events. About half of all patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) present initially with unexpected myocardial infarction or sudden death.

Expert review on coronary calcium

Vascular Health and Risk Management, 2008
While there is no doubt that high risk patients (those with >20% ten year risk of future cardiovascular event) need more aggressive preventive therapy, a majority of cardiovascular events occur in individuals at intermediate risk (10%-20% ten year risk).

Homoarginine Supplementation Prevents Left Ventricular Dilatation and Preserves Systolic Function in a Model of Coronary Artery Disease

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2019
Background Homoarginine (hArg) has been shown to be cardioprotective in a model of ischemic heart failure; however, the mechanism remains unknown.

Cyclic azapeptide CD36 ligand attenuates cardiac injury and reduces long‐chain fatty acid accumulation after myocardial ischemia–reperfusion in mice

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
In a murine model of myocardial ischemia and reperfusion (MI/R), the CD36 azapeptide ligand MPE‐298 reduces cardiac injury and transiently lowers left ventricular long‐chain fatty acids (LCFAs) accumulation 3 h after reperfusion, accompanied by a decrease of oxidative stress and inflammation‐associated genes' expression in the heart and adipose tissue.

Deep-Learning-Based Coronary Artery Calcium Detection from CT Image

Sensors, 2021
One of the most common methods for diagnosing coronary artery disease is the use of the coronary artery calcium score CT. However, the current diagnostic method using the coronary artery calcium score CT requires a considerable time, because the ...

Effects of Add‐On Icosapent Ethyl With Standard Treatment on Functional Outcomes and Inflammatory Biomarkers in Acute Ischemic Stroke: A Blinded Randomized Controlled Trial

Annals of Clinical and Translational Neurology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Ischemic stroke, a major cause of mortality and long‐term disability, results from the abrupt cessation of cerebral blood flow due to vascular occlusion or rupture. Icosapent Ethyl (EPA‐EE), approved for hypertriglyceridemia, has anti‐inflammatory and antithrombotic properties that may lessen ischemic damage.

Artificial Intelligence in Systemic Sclerosis: Clinical Applications, Challenges, and Future Directions

Arthritis Care &Research, EarlyView.
Systemic sclerosis (SSc) is a rare autoimmune disease defined by immune dysregulation, vasculopathy, and progressive fibrosis of the skin and internal organs. Despite advances in care, major complications such as interstitial lung disease (ILD) and myocardial involvement remain the leading causes of morbidity and mortality.

Towards accurate coronary artery calcium segmentation with multi‐scale attention mechanism

IET Image Processing, 2021
Coronary artery calcium is a strong and independent marker of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease. Typically, the accurate segmentation of computed tomography images of the chest is an important prerequisite and basis for coronary artery calcium ...
