Association of Coronary Artery Calcium Detected by Routine Ungated CT Imaging With Cardiovascular Outcomes
CONCLUSIONS: Incidental CAC ≥100 was associated with an increased risk of all-cause death and adverse cardiovascular outcomes, beyond traditional risk factors. DL-CAC from routine non-ECG-gated CTs identifies patients at increased cardiovascular risk and holds promise as a tool for opportunistic screening to facilitate earlier intervention.PMID:37704309 | DOI:10.1016/j.jacc.2023.06.040

Extracranial Carotid Plaque Calcification and Cerebrovascular Ischemia: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis
CONCLUSIONS: The presence of calcification in carotid plaque confers a reduced association with ipsilateral ischemic events, although these results seem to be limited among carotid arteries with higher degrees of stenosis. Adoption of carotid calcification measures in clinical decision-making will require additional studies providing more reproducible and standardized methods of calcium characterization and testing these imaging strategies in prospective studies.PMID:37638399 | DOI:10.1161/STROKEAHA.123.042807

AI-Guided Quantitative Plaque Staging Predicts Long-Term Cardiovascular Outcomes in Patients at Risk for Atherosclerotic CVD
CONCLUSIONS: Through 10-year follow-up, AI-QCT plaque staging showed important prognostic value for MACE and showed additional discriminatory value over clinical risk factors, CACS, and manual guideline-recommended CCTA assessment.PMID:37480907 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcmg.2023.05.020

Atherosclerosis on CT coronary angiography and risk of long-term cardiovascular events post liver transplantation
CONCLUSION: The standardized CAD-RADS classification on CTCA predicted the occurrence of cardiovascular outcomes following LT, with a potential to increase utilization of preventive cardiovascular therapies.PMID:37432891 | DOI:10.1097/LVT.0000000000000215

Mitral annular calcification as a predictor of stroke in the multiethnic study of atherosclerosis
CONCLUSION: MAC is an independent predictor of long-term stroke risk in a racially diverse population beyond conventional cardiovascular risk factors and atrial fibrillation.PMID:37409651 | DOI:10.2459/JCM.0000000000001524

Relationship Between Thoracic Aortic Calcification And Coronary Artery Calcium Measured On Chest CT Scans
Introduction: Cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) remain a leading cause of mortality and morbidity worldwide. Identifying appropriate risk markers may allow detection of patients at high risk for stroke who would benefit from early initiation of preventative measures. Utilizing atherosclerotic burden of multiple vascular beds may allow for improved cardiovascular risk assessment. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a well-established, excellent predictor of coronary heart disease, but its association with stroke is modest.

Streamlined Carotid Artery Calcification Labeling For Cta Scans
Introduction: We require vast amounts of manually labeled calcifications to train advanced machine learning classifiers for carotid artery plaque detection and phenotyping high-risk calcifications for ischemic stroke patients. We developed CTOOL, a web-based software for streamlined calcium labeling with minimal user interaction.

Intracranial Spotty Calcium Predicts Recurrent Stroke in Patients with Symptomatic Intracranial Atherosclerotic Stenosis
ConclusionIn patients with symptomatic ICAS, intracranial spotty calcium is an independent predictor of recurrent ischemic stroke, which will further facilitate risk stratification and suggest that more aggressive treatment should be considered for these patients.

Systemic arterial calcium burden in patients with chronic limb-threatening ischemia
CONCLUSIONS: In CLTI patients nearly all arterial territories are severely calcified, suggesting that systemic calcification plays an important role in the poor outcome of this disease.PMID:37150661 | DOI:10.1016/j.jcct.2023.03.003
