Relationship between Coronary Artery Calcium Score and Coronary Stenosis [PDF]
Cardiology Research and Practice, 2023 Background. The coronary artery calcium score (CACS) is commonly employed to quantify the degree of calcification in coronary atherosclerosis. Indeed, increased coronary stenosis severity is associated with a progressive increase in CACS.

Uric Acid-to-Albumin Ratio as a Non-Invasive predictor for the Severity of Coronary Atherosclerosis
SVU - International Journal of Medical Sciences, 2022 Background: Hyperuricemia is associated with coronary artery disease (CAD). Hypoalbuminemia is a prognostic marker of many cardiovascular diseases, including CAD. Objectives: This study investigates the value of the uric acid-to-serum albumin ratio (UAR)
