Could Breast Arterial Calcification Predict the Risk of Coronary Artery Disease?

Coronary 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...

Arterial Stiffness and its Correlation with the Extent of Coronary Artery Disease

Introduction: Coronary artery disease secondary to atherosclerosis is the most common cause of mortality. Coronary angiography is the most precise method for determining the extent of disease in the coronary vascular bed. Arterial stiffness has been proposed as a marker of atherosclerosis in some studies. One of the noninvasive methods for the determination of arterial stiffness is Doppler echo...

TBS 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,...
