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 ...

Diabetes and male sex are key risk factor correlates of the extent of coronary artery calcification: A Euro-CCAD study. [PDF]

, 2017
Background and aimsAlthough much has been written about the conventional cardiovascular risk factor correlates of the extent of coronary artery calcification (CAC), few studies have been carried out on symptomatic patients.

Warranty Period of a Calcium Score of Zero: Comprehensive Analysis From MESA. [PDF]

JACC. Cardiovascular imaging, 2021
This study sought to quantify and model conversion of a normal coronary artery calcium (CAC) scan to an abnormal CAC scan.Although the absence of CAC is associated with excellent prognosis, progression to CAC >0 confers increased risk. The time interval for repeated scanning remains poorly defined.This study included 3,116 participants from the MESA ...

Soluble Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 1 is Associated With Cardiovascular Risk in Persons With Coronary Artery Calcium Score of Zero

Pathogens and Immunity, 2021
Background: A coronary artery calcium (CAC) score of zero confers a low but nonzero risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular events (CVD) in asymptomatic patient populations, and additional risk stratification is needed to guide preventive interventions ...

The influence of dairy consumption, sedentary behaviour and physical activity on bone mass in Flemish children : a cross-sectional study [PDF]

, 2015
Background: This cross-sectional study aimed to look for an association in young children between whole body bone mineral content (BMC) and areal bone mineral density (aBMD) and dairy consumption as well as sedentary behaviour (SB) and physical activity (

How Low-Risk Is a Coronary Calcium Score of Zero? [PDF]

Circulation, 2008
Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring by computed tomography (CT) has been the subject of intense interest and critical scrutiny since it was first reported as a clinical tool in 1990.1 With improvements in study design, greater availability of coronary CT scanners, and increased attention to the posttest prognosis of patient samples and asymptomatic ...

Detection of small coronary calcifications in patients with Agatston coronary artery calcium score of zero [PDF]

Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography, 2022
A coronary artery calcium score (CACS) of 0 is associated with a very low risk of cardiac event. However, the Agatston CACS may fail to detect very small or less dense calcifications. We investigated if an alteration of the Agatston criteria would affect the ability to detect such plaques.We evaluated 322 patients, 161 who had a baseline scan with CACS

All-cause and cause-specific mortality in individuals with zero and minimal coronary artery calcium: A long-term, competing risk analysis in the Coronary Artery Calcium Consortium. [PDF]

, 2020
Background and aimsThe long-term associations between zero, minimal coronary artery calcium (CAC) and cause-specific mortality are currently unknown, particularly after accounting for competing risks with other causes of death.MethodsWe evaluated 66,363 ...

Snake and spider toxins induce a rapid recovery of function of botulinum neurotoxin paralysed neuromuscular junction [PDF]

, 2015
Botulinum neurotoxins (BoNTs) and some animal neurotoxins (-Bungarotoxin, -Btx, from elapid snakes and -Latrotoxin, -Ltx, from black widow spiders) are pre-synaptic neurotoxins that paralyse motor axon terminals with similar clinical outcomes in patients.

Establishing the warranty of a coronary artery calcium score of zero

Atherosclerosis, 2015
The inherent limitations of traditional risk factor-based cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment [1] have triggered the development and implementation of imaging tests aimed at directly measuring the presence and burden of subclinical atherosclerosis in diverse vascular beds within individual patients.
