Stroke is associated with coronary calcification as detected by electron-beam CT: the Rotterdam Coronary Calcification Study.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Coronary calcification as detected by electron-beam CT measures the atherosclerotic plaque burden and has been reported to predict coronary events. Because atherosclerosis is a generalized process, coronary calcification may also be associated with manifest atherosclerotic disease at other sites of the vascular tree. We examined whether coronary calcification as detected ...
متن کاملAge and gender distribution of coronary artery calcium measured by four-slice computed tomography in 2,030 persons with no symptoms of coronary artery disease.
C the Agatston criteria 1 are widely applied for defining the quantity of coronary calcium (“Agatston score”). To interpret the clinical significance of a given Agatston score, it is essential to consider the age and gender of the individual patient. Agatston score percentile values have been established on the basis of measurements from electron beam computed tomography (EBCT). Because of the ...

متن کاملCreating a web application that combines Framingham risk with Electron Beam CT Coronary Calcium Score to calculate a new event risk.
The Electron Beam CT (EBT) Coronary Calcium Score (CCS) is an independent predictor of coronary events and adds incremental information to standard risk factors. How to use this information was uncertain. To assist our referring physicians in utilizing this test, a web based calculator was created that combines the Framingham score risk with the EBT CCS risk to obtain a new risk for cardiac eve...
متن کاملEvaluation of subsecond gated helical CT for quantification of coronary artery calcium and comparison with electron beam CT.
OBJECTIVE Since its introduction early in the 1990s, helical CT has become the predominant technology for obtaining CT images for medical applications. Recent improvements in the temporal resolution of helical CT (subsecond) and the addition of retrospective cardiac gating are combined in this report evaluating cardiac-gated helical CT for quantifying coronary artery calcium. We compare total c...
