Sharma (2022) described a case of right coronary artery (RCA) calcifications successfully managed with shockwave intravascular lithotripsy (IVL)-assisted staged percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). This case entailed a 74-year-old male patient presented with ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction...
However, citing evidence that shows that only a small proportion of asymptomatic individuals with calcified coronary arteries ultimately develop symptomatic coronary artery disease, a 1996 American Heart Association (AHA) scientific statement on coronary artery calcification concludes that the presence of coro...

N-NAFLD is associated with lower mortality, while NAFLD can have higher total cost, and longer length of stay among coronary artery calcifications. Randomized clinical trials are needed to see the progression of CAC in NAFLD. Download: Download high-res image (300KB) Download: Download full-siz...
(n = 10 SNPs), coronary artery calcification (n = 8 SNPs), and myocardial infarction (n = 8 SNPs). Three additional lead SNPs were associated with CAD in the CARDIoGRAMplusC4D and UK Biobank meta-analysis. Eighty-four lead SNPs were associated with 101 CVD-related traits, ...
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 ...
2.2). The valve showed hardly any calcification, but the regurgitation was severe despite the patient's young age, 23 years. In patients with ALCAPA, mitral regurgitation is functional. The prevailing mechanism is posterior leaflet restriction in systole due to papillary muscle ischaemia, but ...
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...
