Arterial stiffness contributes to coronary artery disease risk prediction beyond the traditional risk score (RAMA-EGAT score)
OBJECTIVES The traditional risk score (RAMA-EGAT) has been shown to be an accurate scoring system for predicting coronary artery disease (CAD). Arterial stiffness measured by the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI) is known to be a marker of atherosclerotic burden. A study was undertaken to determine whether CAVI improves the prediction of CAD beyond the RAMA-EGAT score. DESIGN Cross-sectional...
متن کاملRisk of cardiovascular events predicted by the Rama-EGAT score among HIV-infected patients in Thailand.
Cardiovascular disease has become an important cause of death among HIV-infected patients. A cross sectional study was conducted to determine the risk for cardiovascular events among HIV-infected patients who visited the Infectious Disease Clinic at Ramathibodi Hospital, Mahidol University, Bangkok, Thailand. The risk for cardiovascular events was determined using the Rama-EGAT risk score. Pati...
متن کاملCoronary artery calcium score and risk classification for coronary heart disease prediction.
CONTEXT The coronary artery calcium score (CACS) has been shown to predict future coronary heart disease (CHD) events. However, the extent to which adding CACS to traditional CHD risk factors improves classification of risk is unclear. OBJECTIVE To determine whether adding CACS to a prediction model based on traditional risk factors improves classification of risk. DESIGN, SETTING, AND PART...
متن کاملAssociation between arterial stiffness and risk of coronary artery disease
OBJECTIVE To investigate the role of Brachial ankle Pulse Wave Relocity (baPWV) and cfPWV on the risk of Coronary artery disease and the interaction between baPWV and risk factors of Coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS A case-control study was conducted at Department of Emergency, SunYat-Sen memorial Hospital, China. We collected 332 cases with coronary artery disease and 328 subjects with...
متن کاملCoronary artery calcium (CAC) score – a prognostic tool in coronary artery disease?
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of measurement of coronary artery calcification score (CAC) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) and a normal myocardial perfusion scan. Methods: In a prospective study we measured the calcium score of 74 patients (29 m, 45 f, mean age 58.7 (m) and 64.4 (f)) with suspicion of CAD and a normal perfusion scan. In ...
