132 To the Editor The coronary artery calcium score (CACS) emerges as a useful marker of coronary ar‐ tery atherosclerosis and cardiovascular risk.1,2 Cor‐ onary calcifications are related to coronary artery plaque burden but not to plaque instability and cannot be used to exclude coronary atherosclero‐ sis. The measurement of the CACS may play an im‐ portant role in the reclassification of sub...
متن کاملCoronary artery calcium (CAC) score – a prognostic tool in coronary artery disease?
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of measurement of coronary artery calcification score (CAC) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) and a normal myocardial perfusion scan. Methods: In a prospective study we measured the calcium score of 74 patients (29 m, 45 f, mean age 58.7 (m) and 64.4 (f)) with suspicion of CAD and a normal perfusion scan. In ...
متن کاملRelationship of traditional and nontraditional cardiovascular risk factors to coronary artery calcium in type 2 diabetes.
We evaluated correlates of coronary atherosclerosis, measured by coronary artery calcium, in a racially diverse group of male and female subjects with type 2 diabetes. Age, systolic blood pressure, sex, and race/ethnicity were significant determinants of coronary artery calcium. Among lipoproteins, cholesterol level contained in a particle excluded from direct measures of LDL and HDL cholestero...
متن کاملFamilial aggregation of coronary artery calcium in families with type 2 diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes is widely recognized as a major risk factor for atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease, including subclinical atherosclerosis as measured by noninvasive procedures. However, the role of genetic factors that contribute to various measures of subclinical atherosclerosis is largely unknown. We hypothesize that subclinical atherosclerosis, measured as coronary artery calcification (...
