The coronary arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to the muscle of the left ventricle of the heart. The amount of calcium in the walls of the coronary arteries, assessed by calculating the coronary calcium score, appears to be a better predictor of risk than standard risk factors CAC score is a...
The coronary artery calcium score (CACS) is a quantitative measure of the extent of atherosclerosis in the coronary arteries. It acts as a surrogate marker and has been found to be a reliable predictor of various cardiovascular outcomes including events such as myocardial infarction and all-cause ...
The CAC data were converted into categorical data (1 indicating any calcium and 0 indicating no calcium) to understand the effect of the disease (psoriasis or type 2 diabetes) on the presence of any calcium in the coronary arteries (CAC score >0), which were reported as odds ratios (...

Calcium scores in coronary arteries (CAC) can be detected by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) before any cardiac event occurs. Gamma-glutamyl transferase (GGT) is a biomarker for oxidative stress and a proatherogenic marker for its indirect contribution to the...
What is a coronary artery calcium score? Coronary Artery Calcium: The coronary arteries are the collection of blood vessels that directly supply the tissues of the heart with blood, and coronary artery disease refers to the accumulation of plaque inside the inner walls of these blood vessels. The...
Coronary Artery Calcium Score refers to the use of computed tomography to identify calcified plaque in the coronary arteries, which helps in assessing the risk of significant coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients. AI generated definition based on:Biomarkers in Cardiovascular Disease,2019 ...
12.The Effect of Control of Calcium and Phosphate Abnormality on Coronary Artery Calcification of Peritoneal Dialysis Patients;终末期肾病患者钙磷代谢紊乱和冠状动脉钙化治疗探讨 13.64-Slice Spiral Computed Tomography to Detect Coronary Artery Calcification and Vascular Reconstruction of Coronary Arteries and Co...
The CAC Agatston score did not provide additional incremental value in mortality prediction [11]. Therefore, assessing the prognostic value of different sites of calcification and the number of coronary arteries affected by calcification may be more clinically meaningful. The change in volume score was...
17 Coronary artery calcium was quantified for all participants via the Agatston method, with CAC score categories of 0, 1 to 100, and higher than 100. Coronary artery calcium scores provide quantification of the total plaque burden in the coronary arteries, with higher scores indicating a larger...
