The presence and burden of coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a strong predictor of cardiovascular events. Current guidelines of the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) for cardio-oncology do not recommend the use of the CAC score to determine the status of risk in cancer patients. The aim of...

The coronary calcium score (CCS) predicts significant coronary artery disease (CAD) in the general population. While moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD) is associated with high CCS, the use of CCS to predict significant CAD in these patients is unknown. A total of 704 patients underwent comput...

Background: Calcified coronary lesions present unique technical challenges during percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and it is not known if DES are as safe and as effective in the presence of calcium, as randomized trials typically exclude this common patient subset. Methods: We evaluated ...
of the disease11. Thus, the decrease in Klotho serum levels has been described as an independent risk factor for coronary artery calcification in patients with maintenance hemodialysis25. Therefore, Klotho has been suggested as a master regulator of CVD, with a potential role in the pathogenesis ...
(361 genes, P<10−74), cancer (968 genes, P<10−64), and gastrointestinal disease (893 genes, P<10−26) as the four top associations, the subcategories of which contain the links to non-insulin-dependent diabetes, coronary artery disease, and inflammatory bowel disease previously ...
People who drink a moderate amount of coffee daily are less likely to develop clogged arteries that could lead to heart attacks, reveals research published online inHeart. Researchers from South Korea found that people consuming three to five cups a day had the least risk of coronary calcium in...
"Although coronary calcium scores provide an excellent measure of plaque build-up in the arteries, the presence of calcium doesn't mean that we will see evidence of ischemia or artery blockage when a patient does a stress test," Berman said. "In most patients, the ...
On the other hand, the presence of calcium is a predictor of lesion stability. The objective of this study is to evaluate the influence of the total amount of coronary calcium, obtained by multislice CT scanner (MDCT), on the severity of moderate lesions as assessed by IVUS. IVUS was ...
