A prospective study of 250 consecutive patients with angiographically proved arteriosclerotic heart disease and 250 consecutive patients with normal coronary angiograms is reported to evaluate the significance of coronary artery calcification. Coronary artery calcification was present in 76 per cent of the ...
CACS可以预测未来发生心血管事件的风险,并用于指导治疗和管理决策。 总结来说,“coronary artery calcification score”是指冠状动脉钙化评分,用于评估冠状动脉钙化的程度或严重性,并提供心血管疾病风险的预测和指导治疗决策的依据。常见的冠状动脉钙化评分方法包括Agatston Score和CACS。
A commonly used scoring system is the Agatston scoring system which quantifies both the number and density of coronary artery calcifications present to provide an overall score related to severity of coronary artery calcification. This score has been shown to be an imaging biomarker for coronary ar...
It is possible that there are different mechanisms behind coronary calcification and coronary artery narrowing. In onemeta-analysis, coronary calcification was not affected by statin therapy although there was a consistent moderation of progression of coronary artery narrowing with statins. Reply Don C O...
In general, the extent of the calcification of coronary arteries is closely related to the severity of coronary arteries' stenosis, although this relationship is not always present. This article is a review of the mechanism of coronary artery calcification, c...

All patients with clinically significant disease at angiography (defined as at least one stenosis with a diameter narrowing of at least 50%) had some coronary artery calcification present at ultrafast CT (100% sensitivity in this population). The absence of calcification at ultrafast CT had a 100...
The value of coronary artery calcium scoring in the elderly population The assessment of coronary calcification may have particular value in the elderly population. The potential for prevention of coronary heart disease (CHD) in older adults is large, since even a small reduction in risk-factor lev...
There have been no data with regard to the relationship between coronary artery calcification (CAC) detected with positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT), as incidental findings, and myocardial perfusion single photon computed tomography (MPS) results in patients with cancer.The mai...
