Immune-mediated inflammatory disease and coronary calcium: Elevated baseline risk and attenuated prognostic gradient

American Journal of Preventive Cardiology
Background: Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID) are associated with accelerated atherosclerosis, yet it is unclear whether CT coronary artery calcium scoring (CTCS) captures this excess cardiovascular risk accurately.

Escore de cálcio coronariano prediz estenose e eventos na insuficiência renal crônica pré-transplante Score de calcio coronario predice estenosis y eventos en la insuficiencia renal crónica pre trasplante Coronary calcium score as predictor of stenosis and events in pretransplant renal chronic failure

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2010
FUNDAMENTO: A doença arterial coronariana (DAC) é a principal causa de óbito em pacientes com insuficiência renal crônica (IRC). Os exames não invasivos tradicionais para detecção de DAC e predição de eventos têm apresentado resultados insuficientes ...

Tissue-specific expression of calcium channels [PDF]

, 1993
The high-voltage-activated calcium channel is a multimeric protein complex containing 1, 2/δ, β, and γ subunits. The 1 subunit is the ion conduction channel and contains the binding sites for calcium channel blockers and toxins.

Calcium Carbonate Suppresses Haem Toxicity Markers without Calcium Phosphate Side Effect on Colon Carcinogenesis [PDF]

, 2010
Red meat intake is associated with increased risk of colorectal cancer. We have previously shown that haemin, haemoglobin and red meat promote carcinogen-induced preneoplastic lesions, aberrant crypt foci, in the colon of rats.

Prognosis of Zero Coronary Artery Calcium Score in Symptomatic Patients of South Asian Descent – an Experience from a Tertiary Care Center in Pakistan

Global Heart
Introduction: The absence of CAC in asymptomatic individuals is associated with a very low incidence of cardiovascular events. Of symptomatic patients, 1–2% with zero CAC score have non-calcified coronary artery atherosclerosis, and at least one third of

Derivation and Validation of a Clinical Tool to Predict Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease Among Patients with Zero Coronary Calcium Score

, 2018
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is associated with significant morbidity and mortality. Coronary artery calcification (CAC) indicates presence of CAD. Absence of CAC is associated with very low risk of having CAD but not equal to zero.
