Short-term effects of renal transplantation on coronary artery calcification: A prospective study
Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 2015 Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of mortality in renal transplant recipients. Coronary artery calcification (CAC) has been found to have good correlation with atherosclerosis and cardiovascular morbidity. The objective of our study was to assess

Determination of Pericardial Adipose Tissue Increases the Prognostic Accuracy of Coronary Artery Calcification for Future Cardiovascular Events [PDF]
, 2012 Objectives: Pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) is associated with coronary artery plaque accumulation and the incidence of coronary heart disease. We evaluated the possible incremental prognostic value of PAT for future cardiovascular events.

ST-Segment Elevation Myocardial Infarction 2 h After Zero Calcium Score
JACC: Cardiovascular Interventions, 2020 After hearing a radio advertisement, a 58-year-old prison guard with hypertension and his wife completed elective “couples” coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring. On the way to work after his test, which was completed at 9:54 am ([Figures 1][1] and [2][2][⇓][1][⇓][2]), he ...

Urinary proteomics for prediction of mortality in patients with type 2 diabetes and microalbuminuria [PDF]
, 2018 Background: The urinary proteomic classifier CKD273 has shown promise for prediction of progressive diabetic nephropathy (DN). Whether it is also a determinant of mortality and cardiovascular disease in patients with microalbuminuria (MA) is unknown.

Intracranial internal carotid artery calcification is not predictive of future cognitive decline
Alzheimer’s Research & Therapy, 2022 Background Intracranial internal carotid artery (ICA) calcification is a common incidental finding in non-contrast head CT. We evaluated the predictive value of ICAC (ICAC) for future risk of cognitive decline and compared the results with conventional ...
