Background: Conventionally, the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) was used as a tool to risk stratify individuals for cardiovascular (CV) events and death. More recently, the coronary artery calcium score (CACS) has been used as a complimentary method for the assessment of CV risk. This study’s objective is to quantify the magnitude of marked discordance (MD) between FRS and CACS. The subjects were f...
Aim We validated patientpain drawing (PPD) in establishing the diagnosis of chronic anterior compartment syndrome (CACS) in patients with exercise-induced leg pain. Methods The study comprised 477 consecutive patients, all suspected of having CACS. The diagnosis was based on the patient's history, a thorough clinical examination and measurements of intramuscular pressure (IMP) following an ex...
AIMS The PREDICT Study is a prospective cohort study designed to evaluate coronary artery calcification score (CACS) as a predictor of cardiovascular events in type 2 diabetes (T2DM). METHODS AND RESULTS A total of 589 patients with no history of cardiovascular disease and with established T2DM had CACS measured, as well as risk factors, including plasma lipoprotein, apolipoprotein, homocyste...
BACKGROUND Limited studies report on the additional prognostic value of coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and the coronary artery calcium score (CACS). METHODS For a median of 637 days, 1551 outpatients with chest pain, without known coronary artery disease (CAD) and low or intermediate pre-test probability of CAD, were followed for major adverse cardiac events (MACE), defined a...
Circulating angiogenic cells (CACs) are monocyte-derived cells with endothelial characteristics, which contribute to both angiogenesis and arteriogenesis in a paracrine way. Interferon-β (IFN-β) is known to inhibit these divergent processes in animals and patients. We hypothesized that IFN-β might act by affecting the differentiation and function of CACs. CACs were cultured from peripheral bloo...
BACKGROUND Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Aortic elasticity and diastolic functions are helpful parameters in assessment of CAD. In this study we aimed to learn whether diastolic function and aortic elastic properties measured by echocardiography are associated with coronary calcium score (CACS), epicardial fat volume (EFV), and plaque a...
BACKGROUND The factors that determine the different patterns of venous anatomy are not well understood. This study was designed to evaluate the relationship between variation in the cardiac vein system and the extent of coronary artery calcium score (CACS). METHODS We reviewed the results of 64-slice CTs of 226 subjects (age 57.2 ± 11.2; 133M) enrolled in our study. The subjects were divided ...
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES It is known that coronary artery calcification (CAC) develops in chronic kidney disease (CKD) before initiation of renal replacement therapy, and factors associated with CKD mineral and bone disorders (CKD-MBDs) are involved. However, little information is available about any association between plasma levels of asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA), insulin resistance, a...
AIM Prior evidence observed no predictive utility of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) over the coronary artery calcium score (CACS) and the Framingham risk score (FRS), among asymptomatic individuals. Whether the prognostic value of CCTA differs for asymptomatic patients, when stratified by CACS severity, remains unknown. METHODS AND RESULTS From a 12-centre, 6-country observational registry, 3...
BACKGROUND/AIM Vascular calcification is common and contributes to increased cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis (HD) patients. In this prospective study, we aimed to investigate the associations of serum S100A12 in the presence of severe coronary artery calcification (CAC) and the progression of CAC in HD patients. METHODS Sixty maintenance HD patients and 30 controls were enrolled. Ser...
