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 ...
متن کاملSerotonin is associated with coronary artery disease and cardiac events.
BACKGROUND Blood platelets are related to coronary atherogenesis. Platelets secrete serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine) which has several effects on the vascular wall and promotes thrombogenesis, mitogenesis, and proliferation of smooth muscle cells. Serotonin may therefore be one of the factors involved in the development of coronary artery disease (CAD). We have assessed serotonin among conventio...
