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.

Factors associated with cardiovascular events after simultaneous liver–kidney transplant from the US Multicenter Simultaneous Liver–Kidney Transplant Consortium

Hepatology Communications, EarlyView., 2022
Abstract Cardiovascular disease is a leading complication after both liver and kidney transplantation. Factors associated with and rates of cardiovascular events (CVEs) after simultaneous liver–kidney transplant (SLKT) are unknown. This was a retrospective cohort study of adult SLKT recipients between 2002 and 2017 at six centers in six United Network ...

Myocardial Perfusion Imaging Versus Computed Tomography Angiography–Derived Fractional Flow Reserve Testing in Stable Patients With Intermediate‐Range Coronary Lesions: Influence on Downstream Diagnostic Workflows and Invasive Angiography Findings

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2017
BackgroundData on the clinical utility of coronary computed tomography angiography–derived fractional flow reserve (FFRCT) are sparse. In patients with intermediate (40–70%) coronary stenosis determined by coronary computed tomography angiography, we ...
