Extending the Use of Coronary Calcium Scanning to Clinical Rather Than Just Screening Populations
Twenty-five years after its initial development, coronary artery calcium (CAC) scanning has become a relatively inexpensive test that has been extensively validated as a potent noninvasive means for assessing the burden of coronary atherosclerosis in asymptomatic individuals. A proportional relationship between the magnitude of CAC abnormality and the frequency of subsequent cardiac events over...

متن کاملScreening of Eleven Festuca arundinaceaNative Populations for NaCl Tolerance in Order to Use in Green Space
In the turfgrass industry, the need for salinity tolerant turfgrasses is increasing because of the increased use of saline and non-potable water. Greenhouse container experiments were conducted to determine the relative salinity tolerance and growth responses of eleven native populations of tall fescue (Festuca arundinacea Schrub) (TF), including: Semirom, Mashhad, Sanandaj, Yasuj, Yazd Abad, D...
متن کاملThe entire coronary arterial system rather than just the culprit lesion should be evaluated in patients with acute coronary syndrome.
he extent of coronary artery narrowing has been considered a primary and readily available determinant of survival in patients with coronary artery disease. Despite continuous refinement in antithrombotic therapy and intracoronary stents, the extent and complexity of coronary artery disease remain major determinants of shortand longterm prognosis in patients undergoing percutaneous coronary int...
متن کاملUse of coronary artery calcium scanning to screen for coronary atherosclerosis among early middle-age adults.
s t F e a a p Coronary atherosclerosis is a highly prevalent and progressive disorder that is characterized by a long latent phase before the onset of clinical symptoms. Fatty streaks are commonly found in the vascular walls of children and progress with high frequency to significant fibrous plaques by early adulthood (1,2). Some of these evolve to become susceptible to hemorrhage, rupture, and...
