Vascular calcification in peritoneal dialysis patients
(Multimed Inc, 2008-03-01)
Vascular calcification ( VC) is being recognized as a common complication at all stages of chronic kidney disease, particularly in patients on dialysis. Traditional and nontraditional cardiovascular risk factors both appear ...
Coronary Calcification Is Associated With Lower Bone Formation Rate in CKD Patients Not Yet in Dialysis Treatment
(JOHN WILEY & SONS INC, 2010)
Vascular calcification is a strong prognostic marker of mortality in hemodialysis patients and has been associated with bone metabolism disorders in this population. In earlier stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD), ...
Coronary Calcification Is Associated With Lower Bone Formation Rate in CKD Patients Not Yet in Dialysis Treatment
(Wiley-Blackwell, 2010-03-01)
Vascular calcification is a strong prognostic marker of mortality in hemodialysis patients and has been associated with bone metabolism disorders in this population. in earlier stages of chronic kidney disease (CKD), ...
The Absence of Coronary Calcification Does Not Exclude Obstructive Coronary Artery Disease or the Need for Revascularization in Patients Referred for Conventional Coronary Angiography
(ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2010)
Objectives This study was designed to evaluate whether the absence of coronary calcium could rule out >= 50% coronary stenosis or the need for revascularization. Background The latest American Heart Association guidelines ...
Thoracic aorta calcification detected by electron beam tomography predicts all-cause mortality
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2010)
Background: The presence of coronary artery calcium (CAC) is an independent marker of increased risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD) events and mortality. However, the predictive value of thoracic aorta calcification (TAC), ...
Non-invasive detection of aortic and coronary atherosclerosis in homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia by 64 slice multi-detector row computed tomography angiography
(ELSEVIER IRELAND LTD, 2008)
Homozygous familial hypercholesterolemia (HoFH) is a rare disorder characterized by the early onset of atherosclerosis, often at the ostia of coronary arteries. In this study we document for the first time that aortic and ...
Coronary artery calcification, systemic inflammation markers and mineral metabolism in a peritoneal dialysis population
(Karger, 2006-01-01)
Aims: To assess the prevalence of coronary artery calcification (CAC) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients and to determine whether comorbidities such as inflammation, dyslipidemia and mineral metabolism disorders correlate ...
The association between coronary artery calcification progression and loss of bone density in non-dialyzed CKD patients
(DUSTRI-VERLAG DR KARL FEISTLEDEISENHOFEN-MUENCHEN, 2012)
Background: Coronary artery calcification (CAC) and low bone density are coexisting deleterious conditions commonly shared by chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients. In the present study, we aimed to investigate whether the ...
