CT body composition analysis has been shown to play an important role in predicting health
and has the potential to improve patient outcomes if implemented clinically. Recent …

Background CT contrast media improves vessel visualization but can also confound
calcification measurements. We evaluated variance in aorta attenuation from varied contrast …

Background Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is an independent risk factor for
cardiovascular disease. We aim to examine the associations between Life's Essential 8 …

Evidence supporting aortic calcification as a leverageable cardiovascular risk factor is
rapidly growing. Given aortic calcification's potential as a clinical correlate, we assessed …

Purpose: The calcium score is a measure of vessel wall calcification and has clinical
applications when studied in different vascular beds. The presence of vascular calcification …

Abstract Purpose 18 F-NaF-PET/CT can detect mineral metabolism within atherosclerotic
plaques. To ascertain whether their 18 F-NaF uptake purports progression, this index was …

Purpose The purpose of the present study was to evaluate whether vascular calcification is a
risk factor for anastomotic leakage after gastrectomy in gastric cancer patients. Methods …

Background Abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is recognized as a valuable predictor of
cardiovascular diseases (CVDs). Dietary fiber is strongly correlated with CVDs. However …

Background Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is the leading cause of mortality, and vascular
calcification has been highly correlated with CVD events. Abdominal aortic calcification …

Patients with primary aldosteronism (PA) are more susceptible to cardiovascular disease
and mortality than patients with primary hypertension. This is mostly attributed to excess …
