Coronary Artery Calcification Score and Computed Tomographic Coronary Angiography: A Review and Update
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of death in the United States and the world. Identifying new risk factors and improving the screening methods for CAD are continuously evolving processes. The coronary artery calcification (CAC) score, as measured by computed tomographic coronary angiography (CTCA) is of intense interest to clinicians and investigators because of its potential ...
متن کاملThe role of coronary artery calcification score in clinical practice
BACKGROUND Coronary artery calcification (CAC) measured by electron-beam computed tomography (EBCT) has been well studied in the prediction of coronary artery disease (CAD). We sought to evaluate the impact of the CAC score in the diagnostic process immediately after its introduction in a large tertiary referral centre. METHODS 598 patients with no history of CAD who underwent EBCT for evalua...
متن کاملFRAX® Fracture Risks Are Associated with Coronary Artery Calcification Score
Purpose To examine the association between fracture risk assessment tool (FRAX) scores and coronary artery calcification (CAC) score in adults. Methods The medical records of 81 adults who underwent both coronary computed tomography and bone mineral density (BMD) studies in a package during their health exams were reviewed at a regional hospital in Southern Taiwan. Data collected included hea...
متن کاملThe relevance of detecting carotid artery calcification on plain radiograph.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The aim of this study was to determine the potential value of carotid artery calcification observed on plain radiographs in patients referred for carotid angiogram in the diagnosis of carotid artery stenosis. METHODS One hundred sixty consecutive patients with suspected carotid artery stenosis underwent both plain radiographs of the carotid arteries and digital subtract...
متن کاملElectron beam computed tomography evidence of aortic calcification as an independent determinant of coronary artery calcification.
BACKGROUND Imaging of the aorta has received less attention than imaging of the coronary beds, despite the possible link between aortic and coronary artery disease (CAD). Electron beam computed tomography (EBCT) with 100 ms scanning speed can eliminate pulsation-related motion artifacts. The goals of this study were to evaluate EBCT-detected subclinical atherosclerosis over the whole aorta as i...
