After urgent treatment, we decided to treat him by coronary artery bypass graft and surgical resection of the residual tumor on MAC. The operation was performed successfully. Finally, the tumor was diagnosed as cardiac calcified amorphous tumor by its histologic features. YasuteruNakashimaYasunobu...
Lack of association between breast artery calcification seen on mammography and coronary artery disease on angiography. Some studies have found correlations between the presence of breast artery calcium (BAC) observed on routine mammograms and risk factors for coronary arter... Y Henkin,A Abu-Ful,...
Cardiac calcification is a broad term that refers to calcium deposits in the heart valves, coronary arteries, myocardium, and pericardium. There is a unique significance of these calcifications in each of these cardiac areas.[1]While coronary artery calcifications can help risk-stratify intermediate-...

Coronary artery calcium scanning is best applied in the intermediate risk, asymptomatic adult population. Calcium scores >100 or >75th percentile transform the intermediate risk patient to high risk with recommendations for more aggressive therapy. Scores exceeding the 90th percentile or >400 define ...
Despite advances in the pharmacologic and interventional treatment of coronary artery disease (CAD), atherosclerosis remains the leading cause of death in Western societies. X-ray coronary angiography has been the modality of choice for diagnosing the presence and extent of CAD. However, this technique...
Valve interstitial cells (VICs) constitute the vast majority of cells in heart valves, and their senescence might disrupt valve function. The prevalence of aortic stenosis due to aortic valve leaflet calcification increases with age. Calcified aortic valves were previously associated with increased expres...
