Coronary 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 کاملAssessment of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia by coronary computed tomography angiography.
The aims of this study were (1) to determine whether the accumulation of coronary plaque burden assessed with coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) can predict future events and (2) to estimate the onset and progression of coronary atherosclerosis in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia (FH). Consecutive 101 Japanese patients with heterozygous FH (men = 52, mean age 56 ± 16 yea...
متن کاملAssociation of Estrogen Receptor- Gene Polymorphisms With Coronary Artery Disease in Patients With Familial Hypercholesterolemia
To investigate the association of estrogen receptor (ER)gene polymorphisms with coronary artery disease (CAD), we studied 197 men and 98 postmenopausal women with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. We examined the known polymorphisms, including PvuII, XbaI, TA repeat, and CA repeat, and identified 6 novel polymorphisms in the ERgene. The distributions of 1989T/G (a novel polymorphism i...
متن کاملAssociation of estrogen receptor-alpha gene polymorphisms with coronary artery disease in patients with familial hypercholesterolemia.
To investigate the association of estrogen receptor (ER)-alpha gene polymorphisms with coronary artery disease (CAD), we studied 197 men and 98 postmenopausal women with heterozygous familial hypercholesterolemia. We examined the known polymorphisms, including PvuII, XbaI, TA repeat, and CA repeat, and identified 6 novel polymorphisms in the ER-alpha gene. The distributions of -1989T/G (a novel...
متن کاملGenetic Analysis of Iranian Patients with Familial Hypercholesterolemia
Background: Familial hypercholesterolemia (FH) is a frequent autosomal dominant disorder of lipoprotein metabolism. This disorder is generally caused by mutations in low-density lipoprotein receptor (LDLR), apolipoprotein B 100 (APOB), and proprotein convertase subtilisin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) genes. In the present study, we aimed at identifying the common LDLR and APOB gene mutations in an Iran...
