Coronary artery calcification screening: estimated radiation dose and cancer risk.
BACKGROUND Multidetector computed tomography has been proposed as a tool for routine screening for coronary artery calcification in asymptomatic individuals. As proposed, such screening could involve tens of millions of individuals, but detailed estimates of radiation doses and potential risk of radiation-induced cancer are not currently available. We estimated organ-specific radiation doses an...
متن کاملCoronary artery calcification: does it predict obstructive coronary artery disease?
Calcification of the coronary arteries plays a key role in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis. Coronary calcification is an active process culminating in extracellular matrix deposition of calcium by osteoblast-like cells that has some resemblance to bone formation [1]. Subintimal coronary calcification is almost exclusively associated with the presence of coronary atherosclerosis and is co...
متن کاملTBS Predict Coronary Artery Calcification in Adults.
PURPOSE This study analyzes the association between the bony microarchitecture score (trabecular bone score, TBS) and coronary artery calcification (CAC) in adults undergoing health exams. MATERIALS AND METHODS We retrospectively collected subjects (N = 81) who underwent coronary computed tomography and bone mineral density studies simultaneously. CAC was categorized to three levels (Group 0,...
متن کاملEstrogen therapy and coronary-artery calcification.
BACKGROUND Calcified plaque in the coronary arteries is a marker for atheromatous-plaque burden and is predictive of future risk of cardiovascular events. We examined the relationship between estrogen therapy and coronary-artery calcium in the context of a randomized clinical trial. METHODS In our ancillary substudy of the Women's Health Initiative trial of conjugated equine estrogens (0.625 ...
متن کاملLow plasma adiponectin levels predict progression of coronary artery calcification.
BACKGROUND Circulating adiponectin levels are lower in men than in women and lower in advanced coronary artery disease, obesity, and type 2 but not type 1 diabetes. However, it is not known whether low adiponectin levels predict development of atherosclerosis independently of other cardiovascular risk factors. METHODS AND RESULTS Progression of coronary artery calcification (CAC) over an aver...
