However, the association of the combination of aortic arch calcification (AoAC) and cardio-thoracic ratio (CTR) with clinical outcomes in patients with CKD is not well investigated. This study investigated whether the combination of AoAC and CTR is associated with poor clinical outcomes in CKD ...
Complex aortic atheroma (CAA) contains ulcerations or mobile elements, which usually turn out to be thrombi on pathological examination. Presence of calcifications in the plaque decreases the stroke risk, possibly reflecting more stable atheroma. Thromboembolism from CAA may be spontaneous or ...
Objective To explore the related risk factors of aortic arch calcification (AoAC) and the relationship between AoAC and long-term outcome in maintenance hemodialysis patients.Methods The patients who underwent hemodialysis in the Blood Purification Center of Beijing Shijitan Hospital Affiliated to Capital...
Aortic arch calcification predicts cardiovascular and all-cause mortality in maintenance hemodialysis patients. Background/Aim: Vascular calcification is associated with cardiovascular risk in maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients. Previous reports have shown that ... M Komatsu,M Okazaki,K Tsuchiya,......
19-2). As explained earlier, TEE fails to interrogate the distal ascending aorta and proximal aortic arch owing to the attenuation of ultrasound imaging across the air-filled trachea.2 The aortic arch contains the origins of the brachiocephalic vessels—the innominate, left carotid, and left ...
A simple four-grade score for aortic arch calcification by posteroanterior chest X-ray is associated with cardiovascular disease in haemodialysis patientsdoi:10.1093/ndt/gfr087Nephrology, dialysis, transplantation : official publication of the European Dialysis and Transplant Association - European Renal ...
Aortic arch calcification (AoAC) on chest X-rays represents systemic atherosclerosis and it is associated with ischemic cardiovascular diseases. However, the relationship between ischemic stroke and AoAC has yet to be fully elucidated. Patients with acute ischemic stroke who were undergoing chest X-ray...
CKD in combination with DM, as well as hypertension in combination with CKD, were key relationships affecting the risk of arterial calcification, especially at the aortic arch and its orifices. 展开 关键词: Arterial calcification Aortic arch Carotid bifurcation Chronic kidney disease Diabetes mellitus...
The present study was performed to examine the prevalence of and associations between calcification in the coronary arteries, aortic arch and carotid arteries, assessed by multislice computed tomography (MSCT), in an elderly population. Methods and results This study was part of the population-based...
