The treating clinician will evaluate these criteria and determine whether the patient is suitable for treatment using the inventive system. In certain embodiments, the patient has ischemic heart disease. In certain embodiments, the patient suffers from diffuse coronary artery disease. In other ...
Coronary artery calcification (CAC)thoracic irradiation (TIR)lung cancerBackground: Thoracic irradiation (TIR) is associated with an increased risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) and coronary-related death. Lung cancer patients receive considerable doses of TIR, making them a high-risk population ...
The aim of this study was to evaluate the clinical relevance of coronary artery calcifications detected by spiral CT, congruence with fluoroscopy (FS) and coronary angiography, and comparison with studies reporting on application of double-helical CT and ultrafast CT. Forty patients underwent spiral ...
Computed tomography (CT) can be useful for assessing cardiovascular (CV) anatomy and detecting coronary artery calcification and potential pulmonary embolism. However, its role in HFpEF is limited due to its low sensitivity for detecting subtle changes in cardiac function [10]. Finally, positron ...
Calcification critical in the thoracic aorta Neuropathy Serious damage in the central nervous system Drug intoxication or the past history of alcohol dependence A psychoneurotic disorder or it is not followed to a protocol, to the extent that it is judged that an understanding is impossible Other ...
Family history of premature coronary heart disease and coronary artery calcification: Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA). BACKGROUND: A family history of premature coronary heart disease (CHD) is a known risk factor for CHD events. The purpose of this study was to assess the s... K...
Among relevant risks that have to be taken into account in these therapies are the development of arrhythmias244,245, uncontrolled proliferation, and unwanted differentiation of cells that may lead to tumor formation in the case of hPSC-based therapies245,246,247,248, or to calcification of the ...
Objectives Using the spiral CT to scan coronary calcification, with qualitative and semi-quantitative method, to predict the presence and extent of coronary artery disease. Background Early diagnosis of coronary artery disease has been an important clinical issue. Coronary angiography was the gold stand...
Familial hypercholesterolemia (an inherited condition resulting in very high levels of cholesterol in the blood) Certain types of aortic stenosis (narrowing of the valve between the left heart chamber and aorta) Coronary CT calcium scan provides a clearer picture of artery calcification ...
