Lv et al (2024) noted that severe coronary artery calcification is associated with low success rate of interventional operation, peri-operative adverse cardiac events, and poor prognosis, which is a major problem faced by operators. The existing therapy methods all have inherent limitations, such as...
a 1996 American Heart Association (AHA) scientific statement on coronary artery calcification concludes that the presence of coronary artery calcium is a poor predictor of coronary artery disease risk, and that there

Forest plots of lipid-coronary artery disease; circles represent effect sizes and horizontal bars represent ±standard errors.aPhenotypic associations (logistic regression; two-sided) between lipid species and incident coronary artery disease in the BHS cohort (551 cases and 3703 controls), adjusted for...
To evaluate the relation of coronary artery calcifications (CAC) on non-ECG-gated CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA) with short-term mortality in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE). We retrospectively included all in-patients between May 2007 and December 2014 with an ICD-9 code for ...
recessive pattern have been described to cause pseudoxanthoma elasticum, a connective tissue disorder with characteristic arterial dysplasia characterized by calcification in elastic tissues. The current study’s findings support that SCAD, migraine headache, and FMD at least partly share a common genetic ...
(n =29) were referred for coronary angiography; (ii) patients with P-NT-proBNP ≤ 45.2 ng/L and CAC 400–1000 underwent CT angiography (n = 20); CT angiography was only used in patients with CAC 400–1000 since severe coronary artery calcifications (CAC > 1000) compromise...
