Vascular calcification is a hallmark of atherosclerosis. The location, density, and confluence of calcification may change portions of the arterial conduit to a noncompliant structure. Calcifications may also seed the cap of a thin cap fibroatheroma, altering tensile forces on the cap and rendering ...
Vascular calcification is an important hallmark of atherosclerosis. Coronary artery calcification (CAC) implies the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD), irrespective of risk factors or symptoms, is concomitant with the development of advanced atherosclerosis. Coronary thrombosis is the most common ...

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。
Thirteen of the 41 patients had vascular calcification, including 11 with coronary artery calcification. One 25-yr-old man required three-vessel coronary artery bypass graft surgery. There were no significant differences between the 13 patients with calcification and the 28 without calcification in the...
This article is a review of the mechanism of coronary artery calcification, coronary artery calcification scoring and of the relationship with coronary artery disease. The article also covers detection, and the role of vascular remodelling played in the interpr...
4 Psoriasis appears to be an independent risk factor for coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction, cerebrovascular disease, stroke, peripheral vascular disease, and cardiovascular mortality.5-8 Patients with psoriasis have an excess risk of cardiovascular mortality, which is the leading cause of ...
In observational studies to date, the association of serum urate with coronary artery calcification has been conflicting.105-107 In this light, not all vascular calcification is related to atherosclerosis. For example, aging, end-stage renal disease, and diabetes mellitus can cause nonatherosclerotic ...
Dyslipidemia and abnormal cholesterol metabolism are closely related to coronary artery calcification (CAC) and are also critical factors in cardiovascular disease death. In recent years, the atherogenic index of plasma (AIP) has been widely used to evaluate vascular sclerosis. This study aimed to inv...
Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a strong and independent predictor of cardiovascular events (CVEs). CAC can be quantified in chest CT scans acquired in lung screening. However, in these images the reproducibility of CAC quantification is compromised by cardiac motion that occurs during scannin...
