With reference to the Medina classification, the region was divided into three segments (LM, LAD, and LCX). Each segment was assigned a value of 0 (for less than moderate calcification) or 1 (for more than moderate calcification) and expressed as calc (X.X.X). Calc (1.1.1), calc (...
(A) Representative CT image of vascular calcification in the left anterior descending (LAD, yellow arrow) and left circumflex artery (LCX, blue arrow) of the left coronary artery (LCA). (B) Representative CT image of vascular calcification in the mitral valve. Images (C), (D), and (E)...
Cost-reductive retroperitoneal excision of large adrenal pseudocyst: A case report and review of the literature We report a case of a non-functioning cystic adrenal mass. It was detected on an abdominal ultrasound carried out for right flank pain in a 45-year-old lad... MS Ansari,I Singh,...
The CAC Agatston score is calculated via a standardized method. The total calcification score was determined by adding the left main artery (LMA), left anterior descending (LAD), left circumflex (LCX), and right coronary (RCA) scores. According to the CT values of the labelled areas, 130–...
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...
结果:MBPS组患者的Lp PLA2水平明显高于非MBPS组(t=2.635,P=0.011);MBPS组患者的左前降支(LAD)、左回旋支(LCX)、左冠状动脉主支(LM)的钙化积分明显高于非MB PS组(t=2.361、2.183、2.062,P均<0.05)。结论:MBPS可能激活高血压患者心血管系统的炎症反应,并使冠状动脉钙化加重。Influenceofhypertensivemorningpeakon...
Statistically highly significant difference was observed between the two groups with regards calcium score and the severity of CAD in the three major vessels (LAD, LCX and RCA) and the total calcium score in all vessels (35 (16 – 85.5) Vs 179.5 (59.5 – 243) P: 0.000, 20.5 (7 – ...
SCP were the most common aspect (67.4%), mainly located in the LAD and correlated positively with white thrombi. Compared to CN or CP groups, SCP was associated with the worst pre-PCI TIMI flow (p = 0.009) and the smallest minimum lumen diameter (0.63 ± 0.57 vs. 1.05 ± 0.82 vs. ...
