Journal ArticleDOI
Long-Term Prognosis Associated With Coronary Calcification: Observations From a Registry of 25,253 Patients
Matthew J. Budoff,Leslee J. Shaw,Sandy T. Liu,Steven R. Weinstein,Philip H. Tseng,Ferdinand Flores,Tracy Q. Callister,Paolo Raggi,Daniel S. Berman,Tristen P. Mosler +9 more
TL;DR: This large observational data series shows that CAC provides independent incremental information in addition to traditional risk factors in the prediction of all-cause mortality.
Journal ArticleDOI
Mortality Incidence and the Severity of Coronary Atherosclerosis Assessed by Computed Tomography Angiography
Matthew P. Ostrom,Ambarish Gopal,Naser Ahmadi,Khurram Nasir,Eric H. Yang,Ioannis A. Kakadiaris,Ferdinand Flores,Song S. Mao,Matthew J. Budoff +8 more
TL;DR: The primary results of this study reveal that the burden of angiographic disease detected by CTA provides both independent and incremental value in predicting all-cause mortality in symptomatic patients independent of age, gender, conventional risk factors, and CAC.
Journal ArticleDOI
Normal thoracic aorta diameter on cardiac computed tomography in healthy asymptomatic adults: impact of age and gender.
Song Shou Mao,Nasir Ahmadi,Birju Shah,Daniel Beckmann,Annie Chen,Luan Ngo,Ferdinand Flores,Y. Gao,Matthew J. Budoff +8 more
TL;DR: AAOD has significant linear association with age, gender, DAOD, and pulmonary artery diameter and there is no significant correlation between AAOD and body surface area, four-chamber volume, left ventricular ejection fraction, cardiac output, and CAPD.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ethnic differences of the presence and severity of coronary atherosclerosis
Matthew J. Budoff,Khurram Nasir,Songshou Mao,Philip H. Tseng,Alex Chau,Sandy T. Liu,Ferdinand Flores,Roger S. Blumenthal +7 more
TL;DR: African-American men were least likely to have any coronary calcium while African-American women had significantly higher OR of any calcification, independent of atherosclerotic risk factors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Ethnic Differences in the Prognostic Value of Coronary Artery Calcification for All-Cause Mortality
Khurram Nasir,Leslee J. Shaw,Sandy T. Liu,Steven R. Weinstein,Tristen R. Mosler,Phillip R. Flores,Ferdinand Flores,Paolo Raggi,Daniel S. Berman,Roger S. Blumenthal,Matthew J. Budoff +10 more
TL;DR: Consistent with population evidence, AA with increasing burden of subclinical coronary artery disease were the highest-risk ethnic minority population and these data support a growing body of evidence noting substantial differences in cardiovascular risk by ethnicity.
