Giant coronary artery calcification.
An 11-year-old boy presented with giant calcifications on the chest radiograph, detected during screening for heart disease (Figure). He had been diagnosed with measles twice, at 1 and 2 years of age. Before this screening, he had been asymptomatic. An ECG revealed sinus rhythm and no specific ST-T–wave changes. The CT scan showed 2 giant circular masses at the atrioventricular sulcus of the ri...
متن کاملCoronary Artery Calcification.
Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is an established marker of subclinical atherosclerosis and an independent predictor of future coronary heart disease in the asymptomatic primary prevention population, particularly in the intermediate risk cohort. CAC also helps in reclassifying those patients and their risk of cardiovascular events into higher or lower risk categories. MESA (Multi-Ethnic St...
متن کاملAssociation between Coronary Artery Sclerosis and Dental Pulp Calcification in Patients Attending Sari Touba Clinic, 2019
Background and purpose: Coronary artery disease is a major cause of mortality, morbidity, and disability in society and patients incur high expenditure on treatment. Pulp stones are ectopic calcifications of the pulp vessel walls, so, they can have similar pathogenesis as those of other organs and coronary atherosclerosis. The purpose of this study was to investigate the correlation between cor...
متن کاملCoronary artery calcification: does it predict obstructive coronary artery disease?
Calcification of the coronary arteries plays a key role in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis. Coronary calcification is an active process culminating in extracellular matrix deposition of calcium by osteoblast-like cells that has some resemblance to bone formation [1]. Subintimal coronary calcification is almost exclusively associated with the presence of coronary atherosclerosis and is co...
متن کاملAdipokines, insulin resistance, and coronary artery calcification.
OBJECTIVES We evaluated the hypothesis that plasma levels of adiponectin and leptin are independently but oppositely associated with coronary artery calcification (CAC), a measure of subclinical atherosclerosis. In addition, we assessed which biomarkers of adiposity and insulin resistance are the strongest predictors of CAC beyond traditional risk factors, metabolic syndrome, and plasma C-react...
