In recent years, there has been an increasing recognition of coronary computed tomographic angiography (CCTA) and gated non-contrast cardiac CT in the workup of coronary artery disease in patients with low and intermediate pretest probability, through the readjustment guidelines by medical societies. However, in routine clinical practice, these CT data sets are usually evaluated dominantly regarding relevant coronary artery stenosis and calcification. The implementation of radiomics analysis, which provides visually elusive quantitative information from digital images, has the potential to open a new era for cardiac CT that goes far beyond mere stenosis or calcification grade estimation...

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) measures subclinical atherosclerosis and improves risk stratification. CAC characteristics-including vessel(s) involved, number of vessels, volume, and density-have been shown to differentially impact risk. We assessed how dispersion-either the number of calcified vessels or CAC phenotype (diffuse, normal, and concentrated)-impacted cause-specific mortality. The CAC Consortium is a retrospective cohort of 66,636 participants without coronary heart disease (CHD) who underwent CAC scoring...

INTRODUCTION: Chemoradiotherapy (CRT) has been associated with increased incidence of cardiovascular (CV) adverse events (CVAE). Coronary artery calcium scoring (CAC) has shown to predict coronary events beyond the traditional CV risk factors. This study examines whether CAC, measured on standard of care, non-contrast chest CT (NCCT) imaging, predicts the development of CVAE in patients with non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) treated with CRT. METHODS: Patients with NSCLC treated with CRT at MD Anderson Cancer Center from 7/2009 until 4/2014 and who had at least one NCCT scan within 6 months from their first CRT were identified...

BACKGROUND: Osteoporosis and cardiovascular disease are common diseases encountered globally, especially with advancing age. Osteoporosis occurs when there is a loss of bone mineral density leading to increased predisposition to fragility fracture. The conventional perception of osteoporosis is purely as a metabolic bone disease. However, there are mounting reports from recent studies that osteoporosis could be seen as a risk factor for cardiovascular disease just like other traditional risk factors such as hypertension, dyslipidaemia and diabetes...

BACKGROUND: Progression of aortic calcification is associated with all-cause and cardiovascular mortality in hemodialysis patients. Blood calciprotein particle (CPP) levels are associated with coronary artery calcification and were reported to be inhibited when using citric acid-based bicarbonate dialysate (CD). Therefore, this study aimed to examine the effect of CD on the progression of the aortic arch calcification score (AoACS) and blood CPP levels in hemodialysis patients. METHODS: A 12-month retrospective observational study of 262 hemodialysis patients was conducted...

Background and Aim: Some transcatheter aortic valve implantation (TAVI) candidates present with ubiquitary arterial disease with massive calcification burden and stenoses in the whole arterial tree and cannot undergo any transvascular TAVI-approach. Moreover, a history of previous coronary surgery including LIMA-LITA in situ bypass grafting, previous carotid surgery or stenosis/occlusions, a concomitant porcelain aorta, Leriche syndrome, diverse other aortic diseases, arterial occlusions, or a chronic dialysis with arteriovenous shunt are common in such patients with end-stage peripheral artery disease, making even a minimal artery access impossible...
