Cardiac calcium score on 2D echo: correlations with cardiac and coronary calcium at multi-detector computed tomography
BACKGROUND To test the hypothesis that a semi-quantitative echocardiographic calcium score (eCS) significantly correlates with cardiac calcium measured by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and, secondarily, severe coronary artery calcifications and stenosis. METHODS This is a retrospective, observational study, conducted in a tertiary centre. eCS was compared with CCTA scores of...
متن کاملRadiation exposure for coronary artery calcium score at prospective 320 row multi - detector computed tomography
Purpose: To date there is extensive data on the radiation dose for assessing coronary artery calcium scores (CACS) with 4-64 row multidetector MDCT. However with the advent of 320 row MDCT, the entire heart can be imaged in one beat and thus potentially reduce the radiation dose. The aim of this study was to evaluate radiation dose for CACS on low-dose prospective EKG-triggered 320 row MDCT. Ma...
متن کاملAortic Unfolding Determined Using Non-Contrast Cardiac Computed Tomography: Correlations with Age and Coronary Artery Calcium Score
OBJECTIVE Aortic unfolding occurs with aging and reflects proximal aortic dilation, aortic arch widening, and decreased curvature. This study 1) evaluated the relationship between aortic unfolding measured using non-contrast cardiac-gated computed tomography (CT) and age, 2) assessed factors influencing aortic unfolding, and 3) determined the association of this measurement with coronary artery...
متن کاملTherapeutic Implications of Coronary Artery Calcium Using Cardiac Computed Tomography
The objective of this document is to review the clinical applicability of coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring in both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients at risk for cardiovascular disease. We begin by describing the pathological basis of atherosclerosis, the characteristic stages of atherosclerotic plaque development, and the mechanism and role of arterial calcifi cation in advanced athero...
متن کاملImpact of serum calcium and phosphate on coronary atherosclerosis detected by cardiac computed tomography.
AIMS High calcium (Ca), phosphate (P), and Ca-P product (CPP) are associated with cardiovascular disease in patients with chronic kidney disease. Whether this relationship persists in individuals with normal kidney function is not yet elucidated. We explored the relationship of serum Ca, P, and CPP to coronary atherosclerosis assessed by cardiac computed tomography angiography (cCTA) in partici...
