CT-Based Leiden Score Outperforms Confirm Score in Predicting Major Adverse Cardiovascular Events for Diabetic Patients with Suspected Coronary Artery Disease
CONCLUSION: CCTA-based risk score algorithms could be used as reliable cardiovascular risk predictors in patients with DM and suspected CAD, among which the Leiden score outperformed the Confirm score in predicting MACE.PMID:36098342 | DOI:10.3348/kjr.2022.0115

Patient-specific biomechanical analysis of atherosclerotic plaques enabled by histologically validated tissue characterization from computed tomography angiography: A case study
CONCLUSION: Patient specific tissue characterization can identify distributions of stress and strain in a clinically relevant range. This capability may be used to identify high-risk lesions and personalize treatment decisions for individual patients with cardiovascular disease and improve prevention of myocardial infarction and stroke.PMID:36049368 | DOI:10.1016/j.jmbbm.2022.105403

Long-term exposure to air pollution, coronary artery calcification, and carotid artery plaques in the population-based Swedish SCAPIS Gothenburg cohort
Environ Res. 2022 Jul 19:113926. doi: 10.1016/j.envres.2022.113926. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTLong-term exposure to air pollution is associated with cardiovascular events. A main suggested mechanism is that air pollution accelerates the progression of atherosclerosis, yet current evidence is inconsistent regarding the association between air pollution and coronary artery and carotid artery atherosclerosis, which are well-established causes of myocardial infarction and stroke. We studied associations between low levels of long-term air pollution, coronary artery calcium (CAC) score, and the prevalence and area of caroti...

Aortic arch plaque morphology in patients with coronary artery disease undergoing coronary computed tomography angiography with wide-volume scan
CONCLUSION: CTCA-WVS provides a comprehensive assessment of coronary atherosclerosis and thoracic aortic plaques in patients with CAD, which may improve the stratification of patients at risk for CV events.PMID:35866499 | DOI:10.1097/MCA.0000000000001171

426 Impact Of Visceral Abdominal Tissue On Coronary Artery Disease As Defined By Quantitative Computed Tomographic Angiography
This study aims to clarify the relationship between the presence and severity of VAT with the presence and severity of coronary artery plaque as defined by total plaque volume, calcified plaque volume, non-calcified plaque volume, and high risk low-density non-calcified plaque using quantitative coronary computed tomography atherosclerosis imaging (AI-QCT).

Inflammation-mediated vitamin K and vitamin D effects on vascular calcifications in people with HIV on active antiretroviral therapy
Background: People with HIV (PWH) experience increased systemic inflammation and monocyte activation, leading to increased risk of cardiovascular events (death, stroke, and myocardial infarction) and higher coronary artery calcium scores (CACs). Vitamins D and K2 have significant anti-inflammatory effects; in addition, vitamin K2 is involved in preventing vascular calcifications in the general population. The roles of vitamins D and K in increased coronary calcifications in successfully treated PWH is less understood. Methods: We prospectively recruited 237 PWH on antiretroviral treatment (ART) and 67 healthy co...

Isolated atlas-duplication as a manifestation of persistent proatlas: a case report
ConclusionsAtlas-duplication is an exceedingly rare dysplasia of the craniocervical junction that may be found isolated and incidentally. If this variation does not necessarily warrant specific treatment, brain CT angiography is recommended to detect anatomical variations of the vertebral arteries.

Thoracic Aortic < sup > 18 < /sup > F-Sodium Fluoride Activity and Ischemic Stroke in Patients With Established Cardiovascular Disease
CONCLUSIONS: In patients with established cardiovascular disease, thoracic aortic 18F-sodium fluoride activity is associated with the progression of atherosclerosis and future ischemic stroke. Arterial 18F-sodium fluoride activity identifies localized areas of atherosclerotic disease activity that are directly linked to disease progression and downstream regional clinical atherothrombotic events.
