Coronary Artery Calcification: Coronary artery calcification refers to the build-up of calcium in the coronary arteries, which are the blood vessels of the heart. The coronary arteries will stiffen and narrow as calcium accumulates in these vessels. Coronary artery calcification is often associated wit...
What is mild coronary artery calcification? What is the pathophysiology of COPD? What is chronic pulmonary thromboembolic disease? Does pulmonary hypertension cause pleural effusion? What is the pathogenesis of a pneumothorax? How fast does pulmonary hypertension progress?
independently associated with presence of calcification on coronary arteries (relative risk 6.56, 95% CI 1.18-36.56, P = 0.032).#These results suggest that mild asymptomatic pHPT with serum calcium levels in the high-normal range does not constitute an independent risk factor for coronary ...
