Multivariable logistic regression analysis was used to create a MACS score chart, which was applied in all patients to determine its discriminative ability. The score chart by van Dijk et al. was validated in this independent external patient series. Results Hundred-ninety-two patients were included...
Cardiac calcium scoring results Now we’ve covered the basic structure of the cardiac calcium scoring chart, let’s look in more detail at what the various scoring brackets represent: 0– a score of zero indicates that no calcium has been found in the heart and that your chance of developing...
Methods and results: A calcium score was developed using 128 patients with pre- and post-stent OCT (test cohort) and then validated in an external cohort of 133 patients. In the test cohort, a multivariable model showed that the independen...
The current standard of care not only fails to alert high-risk individuals but also results in potentially unnecessary drug therapy for low-risk individuals. A more accurate test, CAC score, is now available; however, insurance companies do not cover it. By covering CAC score, many will be ...
¶Studies have evaluated the efficacy of BAS for the prevention of ASCVD, but results have been inconclusive. AU = arbitrary units; BAS = bile acid sequestrant; CAD = coronary artery disease; CV = cardiovascular; CVD = cardiovascular disease; FHx = family history; HDL-C = high-density ...
The width of the arrows graphically represents the percentage or number of patients who follow one or the other way in the flow-chart, depending on tests results. CAD = coronary artery disease. CT = computed tomography. CTA = computed tomography angiography, WMSI = wall ...
A microplate reader was used to read the OD at 440 nm and the results were expressed as a line chart. We used a concentration of Ca2+ that did not cause damage to HK-2 cells for subsequent experiments. Reagents and transfection To knock down and overexpress of GSDMD, lentivirus GSDMD and...
The main goal of this analysis was to achieve the most favorable results on the test data. The optimal hyperparameters for the ANN network can be summarized as follows: units_layer1 = 128, units_layer2 = 128, units_layer3 = 32, batch_size = 16, learning_rate =...
(H) Mean results from the first phase of the formalin test (first 5 min). (I) Results from the second phase of the formalin test (20–60 min). Data from behavioral tests are mean ± SEM, WT n = 16, NCX3HET n = 11, and NCX3HOM n = 13. (J) von Frey at baseline (BL) ...
