Cardiac risk stratification: Role of the coronary calcium score
Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is an integral part of atherosclerotic coronary heart disease (CHD). CHD is the leading cause of death in industrialized nations and there is a constant effort to develop preventative strategies. The emphasis is on risk stratification and primary risk prevention in asymptomatic patients to decrease cardiovascular mortality and morbidity. The Framingham Risk Score p...
متن کاملMeasuring the effect of risk factors on coronary atherosclerosis: coronary calcium score versus angiographic disease severity.
OBJECTIVES This study sought to determine whether noninvasive quantification of coronary calcium is comparable to selective coronary angiography in measuring the effect of cardiovascular risk factors on coronary atherosclerosis. BACKGROUND Electron beam computed tomography (EBCT) allows the delineation of anatomic coronary atherosclerotic disease and may be useful for noninvasively defining t...
متن کاملEffect of Stress on Coronary Risk Factors
In India, a survey indicates the prevalence of 30 times increase in hypertension among urban dwellers, compared with 10 times in rural inhabitants.1 Urbanization together with a change in life style, diet, and job stress, has been attributed in causing hypertension.Stress can cause hypertension by elevating the blood pressure (BP) and by stimulating the nervous system leading to the production ...

متن کاملRelationship between coronary risk factors and the number of involved vessels in coronary angiography
Introduction: Diabetes mellitus, hypertension, hyperlipidemia and cigarette smoking are major coronary artery disease risk factors. This study was performed to detect the correlation between major coronary risk factors and the number of diseased vessels in coronary angiography. Methods: This descriptive study was performed on 196 patients with coronary artery disease who underwent coronary ang...
