Coronary Artery Calcification Seen Through Chest Radiography
Patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) on dialysis have poor overall survival, and cardiovascular (CV) is the main cause of mortality among these patients. Coronary calcification is an independent predictor of mortality and CV events in dialysis patients and can be accessed by using a computerized tomography scanning. The high cost of this procedure, however, precludes routine implementat...
متن کاملAortic calcification on plain chest radiography increases risk for coronary artery disease.
STUDY OBJECTIVES To determine whether an association exists between aortic calcification viewed on plain chest radiography and coronary artery disease. METHODS Retrospective review of all chest radiographs obtained from consecutive patients undergoing coronary angiography at a primary cardiac center during 1999. Plain chest radiographs were reviewed by blinded radiologists, and interobserver ...
متن کاملGiant coronary artery calcification.
An 11-year-old boy presented with giant calcifications on the chest radiograph, detected during screening for heart disease (Figure). He had been diagnosed with measles twice, at 1 and 2 years of age. Before this screening, he had been asymptomatic. An ECG revealed sinus rhythm and no specific ST-T–wave changes. The CT scan showed 2 giant circular masses at the atrioventricular sulcus of the ri...
متن کاملCoronary Artery Calcification.
Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is an established marker of subclinical atherosclerosis and an independent predictor of future coronary heart disease in the asymptomatic primary prevention population, particularly in the intermediate risk cohort. CAC also helps in reclassifying those patients and their risk of cardiovascular events into higher or lower risk categories. MESA (Multi-Ethnic St...
متن کاملSmall nodules detected on chest radiography: does size predict calcification?
STUDY OBJECTIVES To determine whether the likelihood of lung nodule calcification can be predicted from nodule size as measured on a chest radiograph (CXR). DESIGN Retrospective review of CXRs of patients with lung nodules < or =1 cm in size detected on CT scanning. CT images were used to identify calcifications and to provide spatial localization for readers to visualize nodules on a CXR and...
