Intracoronary imaging is useful and necessary to understand calcific lesion features and plan the best percutaneous coronary intervention strategy. Thus, accurate evaluation of patient and lesion characteristics is crucial. For this reason, definition of calcific arc, length, and thickness can suggest the...
These findings provide a new perspective on CAC treatment, early diagnosis, and prevention of MACEs.Introduction Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is considered a indicator for assessing atherosclerosis, quantifiable through the Agatston method [1]. According to the 2019 ACC/AHA Guidelines for ...
The presence of coronary artery calcification has long been known to be associated with atherosclerotic plaque. Pathological studies have shown a strong direct correlation (r 0.9) between coronary calcification and the area of coronary plaque, and the extent of coronary calcification is associated with...
Robotic-Assisted PCI–A New Approach to the Transcatheter Treatment of Coronary Artery Disease In July 2012, the FDA cleared the first robotic-assisted system for PCI, the CorPath Elizabeth's,the catheterization laboratory staff also underwent train... JC Jr - 《Cathlabdigest Com》 被引量: 0发...
Rationale and ObjectivesAs with their actions on bone, bisphosphonates may play a role in coronary artery calcification (CAC) by inhibiting calcium resorption from plaque. The objective of this study was to determine whether the osteoporosis treatment agent alendronate accelerates the rate of CAC.Materi...
- 《Journal of the American College of Cardiology》 被引量: 500发表: 1996年 Interventional treatment for children with severe coronary artery stenosis with calcification after long-term Kawasaki disease. About 4% of children with Kawasaki disease (KD) eventually develop ischemic heart disease, which...
Treatment with cysteamine decreases cellular cystine levels, retards renal deterioration, and allows for normal growth. Patients with a history of inadequate cystine depletion therapy may survive, after renal transplantation, into the third to fifth decades but will experience other, extrarenal ...
Risk factors were use of calcium-containing phosphate binders, hemodialysis treatment, and duration. CONCLUSIONS: It was concluded that CAC was present in the intimal plaque of both nonrenal and renal patients. Renal function and traditional risks were linked to initimal calcification. Medial ...

Statins and/or PCSK9 inhibitors cause the regression of coronary atheroma and reduce clinical events. However, it currently remains unclear whether these drugs modulate coronary atheroma calcification in vivo. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores (Agatston Units, AUs) were estimated in 120 patients re...
