Therapeutic Implications of Coronary Artery Calcium Using Cardiac Computed Tomography
The objective of this document is to review the clinical applicability of coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring in both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients at risk for cardiovascular disease. We begin by describing the pathological basis of atherosclerosis, the characteristic stages of atherosclerotic plaque development, and the mechanism and role of arterial calcifi cation in advanced athero...
متن کاملCardiac calcium score on 2D echo: correlations with cardiac and coronary calcium at multi-detector computed tomography
BACKGROUND To test the hypothesis that a semi-quantitative echocardiographic calcium score (eCS) significantly correlates with cardiac calcium measured by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and, secondarily, severe coronary artery calcifications and stenosis. METHODS This is a retrospective, observational study, conducted in a tertiary centre. eCS was compared with CCTA scores of...
متن کاملShared Decision Making in Patients with Stable Coronary Artery Disease: PCI Choice
BACKGROUND Percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) and optimal medical therapy (OMT) are comparable, alternative therapies for many patients with stable angina; however, patients may have misconceptions regarding the impact of PCI on risk of death and myocardial infarction (MI) in stable coronary artery disease (CAD). METHODS AND RESULTS We designed and developed a patient-centered decision ...
متن کاملImpact of serum calcium and phosphate on coronary atherosclerosis detected by cardiac computed tomography.
AIMS High calcium (Ca), phosphate (P), and Ca-P product (CPP) are associated with cardiovascular disease in patients with chronic kidney disease. Whether this relationship persists in individuals with normal kidney function is not yet elucidated. We explored the relationship of serum Ca, P, and CPP to coronary atherosclerosis assessed by cardiac computed tomography angiography (cCTA) in partici...
متن کاملPositron emission tomography-computed tomography scan helps decision making in cardiac surgery.
A 64-year old male who underwent a mechanical valve Bentall procedure at another institution presented 1 year postoperatively with fever and dyspnoea. Laboratory investigations revealed Candida albicans infection with a periprosthetic collection. Confusion as to whether the collection was infective endocarditis, a periprosthetic transudate or a mass of haemostatic plugs used intraoperatively wa...
