Coronary artery calcium as visualized by computed tomography (CT) represents the calcified component of coronary arterial plaque and is a direct marker of the total burden of coronary atheroma1. This is particularly true in patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) in whom the calcified component of ...
Calcified coronary artery plaque, measured at cardiac computed tomography (CT), is a predictor of cardiovascular disease and may play an increasing role in cardiovascular disease risk assessment. The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) and the Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults ...
Noncalcified coronary artery plaque is present in up to 10% of patients with a CAC score of 0. Computer tomography coronary angiography could be of diagnostic value in symptomatic patients with multiple risk factors for CAD, even in the absence of CAC. 展开 ...
This section of PCRonline revolves around the complexity of calcified coronary lesions and their treatment, from specialised balloon technology to atherectomy devices and lithotripsy.
Background: Calcified atherosclerotic plaque (CP) is less prevalent and less severe in African-Americans (AA), relative to European Americans (EA). Because pericardial adipose tissue (PAT) is associated with CP in the neighboring coronary arteries, we explored ethnic-specific relationships between PAT...

Existing studies evaluating the comparison of clinical outcome of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for severe calcified coronary lesions are limited, and the clinical outcomes of PCI for different morphologies of calcified lesions are controversial. Overall, consecutive 576 lesions with severe calcifi...
A conventional balloon tears the arterial wall at the weakest point (usually at the junction of normal with the diseased segment), whereas cutting balloon (CB), which has three-to-four longitudinal blades mounted on the outer surface, creates controlled incisions in the plaque. Amemiya et al....
