For this, we investigated the association between OPG in plasma and circulating EVs with coronary artery calcium (CAC) as surrogate for VC in symptomatic patients. We retrospectively assessed 742 patients undergoing myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). CAC scores were determined on the MPI-CT images ...
artery calcium screening to other methods of enhanced risk prediction, as a result there is uncertainty as to which methods are preferred in specific populations. Limited evidence from clinical trials suggest that scanning may lead to improved risk factor profiles, but this finding has not been cons...
of coronary artery calcification does reflect the burden of CV risk; however, not all significant obstructive coronary lesions are calcified; in contrast, heavily calcified coronary arteries can often be non-obstructed, hence calcium scoring alone cannot be used as a diagnostic tool in stable angina...
The same patient showed calcified coronary plaque in the mid LAD (calcium mass: 2.88 mg, Agatston score: 16.1) leading to luminal narrowing of the mid and distal segments of the coronary artery observed on the CMRA and CCTA (arrow). b Volume rendered image of the 3D CMRA dataset is ...
CalciumCoronary artery diseaseIntroduction Arterial calcification can limit the visualisation of vessel lumen at CT coronary angiography (CTCA). Dual energy CT (DECT) using two x-ray spectra of differing energy, either from distinct sources or using novel detectors and a single source, offers novel ...
