C-Reactive protein and electron beam computed tomography: a perfect match?
to refer to them as they represent different patient populations to our own. However, we agree that, as we did not present data on the diurnal variation in soluble P-selectin and soluble thrombomodulin in healthy subjects, we were perhaps premature to interpret this data in terms of “loss” of a pattern in the patients with AF, although this lack of diurnal variation is in keeping with our hypot...
متن کاملC-reactive protein and electron beam tomography.
Beam Tomography To the Editor: The study by Park et al1 demonstrates that electron beam tomography (EBT)–derived coronary calcium scores (CCS) are incremental in predicting cardiac risk, consistent with previous data. However, the authors downplay the prognostic power of CCS and elevate the value of C-reactive protein (CRP). They state, “CRP was a marginally significant predictor of MI [myocard...
متن کاملElectron-beam computed tomography: a Bayesian approach to risk assessment.
The epidemic of coronary artery disease continues to affect a large number of individuals who often experience sudden and unexpected events. This underscores the need to develop more effective programs to detect silent atherosclerosis, with the ultimate goal of preventing coronary events. The use of conventional risk factors is helpful in assessing the median risk of a population, but it is oft...
متن کاملComparison of transportation and centering ability using RECIPROC and iRace: A cone-beam computed tomography study
BACKGROUND AND AIM: Root canal treatment, especially in curved and constricted root canals, can be very difficult and time consuming. Several investigations have compared the reciprocating and full sequence motions in terms of shaping ability. The purpose of the present study was to compare the root canal transportation and centering ability of RECIPROC and iRace using cone-beam computed tomogr...
متن کاملCoronary artery fly-through using electron beam computed tomography.
BACKGROUND Virtual reality techniques have recently been introduced into clinical medicine. This study examines the possibility of coronary artery fly-through using a dataset obtained by noninvasive coronary angiography with contrast-enhanced electron-beam computed tomography. METHODS AND RESULTS Ten patients were examined, and 40 to 60 transaxial tomograms (thickness, 1.5 mm; in-plane pixel ...
