Recommended Age to Screen Young Adults for Coronary Artery Calcium Determined
Researchers sought to determine the age at which young adults should be screened for coronary artery calcium to identify risk for premature atherosclerosis.
Coronary Artery Calcium
CMR vs FFR to Evaluate Nonculprit Lesions Post-STEMI
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.
CVD Risk Attenuated With Greater Cardiorespiratory Fitness
Increasing coronary artery calcium correlated with increased CVD events, whereas increasing cardiorespiratory fitness tended to correlate with decreased CVD events.
Diabetes Independently Associated With Coronary Artery Calcification
Diabetes and prediabetes duration are both independently associated with the presence of coronary artery calcified plaque.
Effect of Exercise on Coronary Artery Calcification
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 Useful in Predicting Cardiovascular Risk in COPD
Coronary artery calcium may be the best noninvasive risk marker for predicting a major cardiovascular event in patients with COPD.
Coronary Heart Disease Risk Increased With Clonal Hematopoiesis
Coronary heart disease has been linked to the presence of clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential.
Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring Survival Predicted by Nomogram
A nomogram can predict 5, 10, and 15-year survival among adults undergoing coronary artery calcium scoring.
Hormone Replacement Therapy Associated With Lower Coronary Artery Calcium Scores
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.
Oxidized Lipoprotein Biomarker Levels Affected by Age, Ethnicity
Elevated IgG MDA-LDL levels are associated with a higher risk of subclinical atherosclerosis and may serve as accurate predictors of MACE
