such as strong family history of early heart disease, cigarette smoker, diabetes mellitus, or severe lipid or lipoprotein genetic disorders. (2)(3) The Coronary Calcium Score test is currently covered by Medicare and many
Stress-related disorders, such as generalized anxiety, depression, or post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) have a clear differential prevalence in women and men that can be explained from different points of view, including biological, psychological, genetic, and socioeconomic reasons [1,2,3]. PT...
Multivariable models using these factors predicted the presence of CAC (C statistic=0.789) and degree of elevation (16% of variation explained) and can be used to update a "pretest" CHD risk estimate, such as the 10-year Framingham Risk Score, that is based on an individual's conventional ...
317 cells from 5 mice (jGCaMP8f), 365 cells from 3 mice (jGCaMP8m) and 655 cells from 6 mice (jGCaMP8s)). Kruskal–Wallis multiple-comparison test:P < 0.001. Dunn’s comparison test: *P < 0.05, ***P < 0.001 and not significant (NS). Full statistics...
24 The strong association of SRH with traditional CVD risk factors and the attenuation of its predictive value for CVD and CHD outcomes in models accounting for risk factors highlight the potential utility of SRH as a cardiovascular risk integrator whose predictive value is partly explained by ...
12b, c). However, the organization of feature dispersity cannot be fully explained by the topographic organization of color selectivity and frequency selectivity. Although domains with higher FSI tend to be associated with smaller degrees of feature dispersity, and domains with lower FSI tend to be...
We observed that VNCConv rather produces false negatives, while VNCPC rather produces false positives, which can be explained by the different VNC reconstruction algorithms. However, both algorithms exhibit excellent correlation for both the entire coronary tree, as well as for individual coronary ...
The heterogeneity may be partly explained by the outcome measures: the gain appeared larger for studies using CHD events as the outcome (gain in C statistic of 0.049 [95% CI, 0.036-0.062]; I2 = 0) than for studies using CVD events (gain in C statistic, 0.029 [95% CI, 0.011-0.047]...
To delineate overall risk for the ROC curve analysis, a simple risk score was constructed by inspection of the regression analysis, as explained in Results and the Appendix A. Dichotomous angiographic disease categories (no or nonobstructive disease vs. one- to three-vessel disease) and calcium ...
