Coronary Artery Calcium and Incident Stroke in the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) Cohort
In the published literature, coronary artery calcium (CAC) score is a well-documented independent predictor of incident coronary heart disease (CHD) events, including myocardial infarction, death related to cardiovascular disease, and cardiac arrest.22 In addition to the progression of disease in …

CORONARY ARTERY CALCIUM SCORES FOR ATHEROSCLEROTIC CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE RISK STRATIFICATION IN SMOKERS: MULTI-ETHNIC STUDY OF ATHEROSCLEROSIS
… for a specified group of cigarette smokers. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) can be obtained from these LDCT scans. The utility of CAC for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk stratification remains unclear in this high-risk group. We assess this potential in smokers, especially …

Risk Perception, Psychological Well-Being, and Health-Promoting Behaviors in Persons Informed of a Coronary Artery Calcium Score
… that exacerbate CVD. New technologies such as coronary artery calcium (CAC) screening detect atherosclerosis before clinical disease is manifested. Awareness of an abnormal finding should enhance motivation for change.</p><p>Objective: To examine how awareness of a CAC score affects risk …

Low Bone Mineral Density is not related with High Coronary Artery Calcium Score but with High Hair Calcium: The Relationship among different Calcium Pools in Body
BACKGROUND: With aging, calcium efflux from bone increased as age-related bone loss reduces bone mineral density and age-related calcium adoption in arterial wall progressively stiffens blood vessels, insinuating calcium exchange among different calcium pools in body however these relationships …

A NOVEL MULTI-ETHNIC STROKE RISK PREDICTION MODEL
… fibrillation, as well as a subclinical marker (coronary artery calcium) of increased stroke risk. Almost all of these risk factors can be easily ascertained in clinical practice and thus can be incorporated into routine clinical assessment.

Association of Aortic Vascular Stiffness with Epicardial and Pericardial Adipose Tissues on 64-Multidetector Computed Tomography : In Relation with Coronary Atherosclerosis
… is associated with cardiovascular risk factors. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) and adipose tissues are accurate markers of overall burden of coronary atherosclerosis and metabolic status, respectively. We evaluated the relation of vascular stiffness with epicardial (EAT) and pericardial (PAT) …

Subclinical Atherosclerosis and Cognitive Functioning in a Population-Based Sample
… in DHS-II. The relationship between MoCA scores, coronary artery calcium (CAC), abdominal aortic plaque, and abdominal aortic wall thickness (AWT) was examined in the group as a whole, and in relation to age and ApoE4 allele status. Indirect measures of atherosclerosis (diabetes, hypertension, …

The Relationship of Coronary Atherosclerosis Progression to Cognition
… cognitive functioning has utilized the carotid artery as an indicator. Few studies have examined the association between cognitive performance and atherosclerosis in areas where it accumulates early in the progression process, such as the coronary artery. This project aimed to examine the …

Impact of family history of premature coronary disease on carotid ultrasound and coronary calcium findings
… relatives (FDRs) of subjects with early onset of coronary heart disease (CHD) have higher risk of developing cardiovascular disease. We verified early CHD by angiography in the index patients and extensively phenotyped their FDRs to investigate the relationship of traditional and non-traditional …

Assessment of coronary artery plaque progression using 64 slice multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT)
BACKGROUND: Coronary artery disease (CAD) is one of the leading cause of death. So the effective method for early detection of subclinical CAD and the prevention of developing acute coronary syndrome were emphasized for many years. Coronary MDCT is non-invasive technique, and enable to detect of …

Impatto del profilo lipidico sulla malattia aterosclerotica in due differenti coorti di pazienti ad alto rischio cardiovascolare
Dyslipidemias are one of the most important cardiovascular risk factors, especially in middle-age subjects and represent a variety of quantitative and/or qualitative lipoprotein abnormalities. According to etiology, dyslipidemias have been identified as primitive and secondary diseases; while …
