Calcification of thoracic aorta – solar eclipse sign
BACKGROUND Calcification of thoracic aorta is very common in old people, especially ones with hypertension. This can sometime be visible on plain chest radiograph. CASE PRESENTATION We present a case of a male patient who had extensive deposition of calcium in the thoracic aorta. CONCLUSION The relationship between aortic calcification and coronary atherosclerosis remains contentious. Compu...
متن کاملGender differences in coronary arteries and thoracic aorta calcification.
Calcifications are part of the development of atherosclerosis; they occur exclusively in atherosclerotic arteries and are absent in the normal vessel wall.1 Studies have demonstrated calcification in both coronaries and aortic arteries to be a specific marker of underlying atherosclerosis in the respective vascular beds.1 Extensive evidence exist that men are more likely to have calcification i...
متن کاملProgression of coronary artery calcification and thoracic aorta calcification in kidney transplant recipients.
BACKGROUND Vascular calcification independently predicts cardiovascular disease, the major cause of death in kidney transplant recipients (KTRs). Longitudinal studies of vascular calcification in KTRs are few and small and have short follow-up. We assessed the evolution of coronary artery (CAC) and thoracic aorta calcification and their determinants in a cohort of prevalent KTRs. STUDY DESIGN...
متن کاملThoracic Aorta
Chronic hyperinsulinemia is suspected of enhancing the development of arterial diseases. However, direct metabolic effects of insulin on the inner arterial wall are poorly documented. To assess the possible influence of variations in smooth muscle phenotype, we measured lipogenesis from glucose by rat thoracic aortas that had been injured with a balloon catheter. Aortas were exposed to insulin ...
متن کاملEpidemiology/Population Science Relationship of Carotid Distensibility and Thoracic Aorta Calcification Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis
Stiffening of the central elastic arteries is one of the earliest detectable manifestations of adverse change within the vessel wall. Although an association between carotid artery stiffness and adverse events has been demonstrated, little is known about the relationship between stiffness and atherosclerosis. Even less is known about the impact of age, sex, and race on this association. To eluc...
