Prognostic value of coronary artery calcification.
To the Editor: The study by Kondos et al1 confirms that coronary artery calcification (CAC) predicts increased risk for coronary heart disease (CHD). However, the summary effect size of the prognostic value of calcification is not appreciably changed after adding this and other new data to a previous meta-analysis.2–4 The Kondos et al1 study, as with others in this research area, suffers from s...
متن کاملDiagnostic and prognostic value of absence of coronary artery calcification in patients with stable chest symptoms.
UNLABELLED The aim of this study was to determine the prognostic value of a coronary artery calcium score (CACS) of 0 in patients with stable chest symptoms and to compare it as a first-line test with bicycle exercise testing (X-ECG). Altogether, 315 consecutive patients over 44 years of age, with stable chest symptoms and no previous diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) visited the outpa...
متن کاملDiagnostic value of ultrasound-detected calcification in thyroid nodules.
INTRODUCTION This study analyses the diagnostic value of ultrasonography (US) detection for calcification in thyroid nodules. MATERIALS AND METHODS We analysed the preoperative US findings and clinical characteristics of 577 malignant and 3434 benign thyroid patients who underwent surgery in our hospital. RESULTS The malignant rate in patients with microcalcification hyperechoic and tiny ca...
متن کاملCoffee consumption and coronary calcification: the Rotterdam Coronary Calcification Study.
BACKGROUND The role of coffee in the cardiovascular system is not yet clear. We examined the relation of coffee intake with coronary calcification in a population-based cohort. METHODS AND RESULTS The study involved 1570 older men and women without coronary heart disease who participated in the Rotterdam Study. Coffee intake was assessed with a semiquantitative food frequency questionnaire. C...
متن کاملValue of Progression of Coronary Artery Calcification for Risk Prediction of Coronary and Cardiovascular Events
BACKGROUND Computed tomography (CT) allows estimation of coronary artery calcium (CAC) progression. We evaluated several progression algorithms in our unselected, population-based cohort for risk prediction of coronary and cardiovascular events. METHODS In 3281 participants (45-74 years of age), free from cardiovascular disease until the second visit, risk factors, and CTs at baseline (b) and...
