BACKGROUND: There is limited evidence of the relationship between aortic and iliac calcification and aortic events (aortic dissection or aneurysm rupture) and major adverse limb events (MALEs; ...

Computed tomography (CT)-based measures of calcification in the abdominal aorta are strong predictors of heart attacks and other adverse cardiovascular events—stronger even than the widely used ...

In a first-ever trial, researchers from Edith Cowan University (ECU) have provided abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) imaging results to attempt to elicit behavioral changes to improve diet, ...

Absence of muscle tissue in biopsy samples is common and associated with increased risk of death. In a small study, 50% of non-diabetic hemodialysis patients with elevated FGF-23 showed correlations ...

Abdominal arteries In a small study of hemodialysis patients with secondary hyperparathyroidism, abdominal aortic calcification decreased more in patients who underwent parathyroidectomy than in those ...

There has been a redistribution in the risk of arterial disease in type 1 and 2 diabetes. The risks of heart attack and stroke have decreased significantly, while complications in more peripheral ...

The build-up of calcium in a major artery outside of the heart could predict future heart attack or stroke, a new study has demonstrated. The build-up of calcium in a major artery outside of the heart ...
