Vascular calcification, cardiovascular risk and arterial stiffness in hemodialysis patients
Intimal and medial calcification, the two main types of arterial calcification, are associated, respectively, with arteriosclerosis and mediosclerosis. In non-dialysis patients, both intimal1 and medial calcification2 may be the result of an active regulated process with different aetiologies, where local cells, such as macrophages in the intima or vascular smooth cells in the media, differenti...
متن کاملCoronary calcification improves cardiovascular risk prediction in the elderly.
BACKGROUND Coronary calcification detected by electron beam tomography may improve cardiovascular risk prediction. The technique is particularly promising in the elderly because the predictive power of cardiovascular risk factors weakens with age. We investigated the prognostic value of coronary calcification for cardiovascular events and mortality in a general, asymptomatic population of elder...
متن کاملBreast Arterial Calcification: a New Marker of Cardiovascular Risk?
Mammographically-detected breast arterial calcifications (BAC) are considered to be an incidental finding without clinical importance since they are not associated with increased risk of breast cancer. The goal of this article is to review existing evidence that the presence of BAC on mammography correlates with several (but not all) traditional cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors and wit...
متن کاملRisk Prediction in Cardiovascular Medicine Cardiovascular Risk Prediction
Few topics have received as much attention in the cardiovascular literature over the last 5 years as risk prediction. The assessment of risk has been a key element in efforts to define risk factors for cardiovascular disease (CVD), to identify novel markers of risk for CVD, to identify and assess potential targets of therapy, and to enhance the cost-effective implementation of therapies for bot...
متن کاملCardiovascular Disease and Arterial Calcification in Insulin - Dependent Diabetes Mellitus : Interrelations and Risk Factor Profiles
Cardiovascular disease is a frequent complication of insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM), but the prevalence, interrelations, and risk factors of its principal components (coronary, cerebrovascular, and lower-extremity arterial disease) and of medial arterial wall calcification are not well understood. To address these issues, data from the Epidemiology of Diabetes Complications Study (n...
