Cardiac magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated moderate-good agreement with measurement of fractional flow reserve in evaluating nonculprit lesions after ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction in reperfused patients with multivessel coronary artery disease.
Increasing coronary artery calcium correlated with increased CVD events, whereas increasing cardiorespiratory fitness tended to correlate with decreased CVD events.
Diabetes and prediabetes duration are both independently associated with the presence of coronary artery calcified plaque.
White males who participate in 3 times the recommended physical activity over many years have higher odds of developing coronary subclinical atherosclerosis.
Coronary artery calcium may be the best noninvasive risk marker for predicting a major cardiovascular event in patients with COPD.
Coronary heart disease has been linked to the presence of clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential.
A nomogram can predict 5, 10, and 15-year survival among adults undergoing coronary artery calcium scoring.
Hormone replacement therapy in postmenopausal women was associated with lower coronary artery calcium scores as well as lower risk of long-term all-cause mortality.
Elevated IgG MDA-LDL levels are associated with a higher risk of subclinical atherosclerosis and may serve as accurate predictors of MACE
Researchers argue that elevated coronary artery calcium scores increase the risk of adverse cardiovascular events even in young patients.
