Journal ArticleDOI
Electron Beam Computed Tomographic Coronary Calcium Scanning: A Review and Guidelines for Use in Asymptomatic Persons
TL;DR: Considering evidence shows that coronary calcium is specific for atherosclerotic plaque and that it can be sensitively detected and accurately quantified by using EBCT, which can help guide initiation of clinical prevention programs.
Journal ArticleDOI
Electron-beam tomography coronary artery calcium and cardiac events: a 37-month follow-up of 5635 initially asymptomatic low- to intermediate-risk adults.
George T. Kondos,Julie A. Hoff,Alexander Sevrukov,Martha L. Daviglus,Daniel B. Garside,Stephen S. Devries,Eva V. Chomka,Kiang Liu +7 more
TL;DR: The association between EBT CAC and cardiac events observed in this study of initially asymptomatic, middle-aged, low to intermediate-risk individuals presenting for screening suggests that in this group, knowledge of the presence of CAC provides incremental information in addition to that defined by conventional CAD risk assessment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of pioglitazone compared with glimepiride on carotid intima-media thickness in type 2 diabetes: a randomized trial.
Theodore Mazzone,Peter M. Meyer,Steven B. Feinstein,Michael H. Davidson,George T. Kondos,Ralph B. D'Agostino,Alfonso Perez,Jean Claude Provost,Steven M. Haffner +8 more
TL;DR: Over an 18-month treatment period in patients with type 2 DM, pioglitazone slowed progression of CIMT compared with glimepiride and was similar across prespecified subgroups based on age, sex, systolic blood pressure, duration of DM, body mass index, HbA(1c) value, and statin use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effect of Pioglitazone Compared With Glimepiride on Carotid Intima-Media Thickness in Type 2 Diabetes
Theodore Mazzone,Peter M. Meyer,Steven B. Feinstein,Michael H. Davidson,George T. Kondos,Alfonso Perez,Jean-Claude Provost,Steven M. Haffner +7 more
TL;DR: In isolated vesel-wall cells, troglitazone, piogli-tazone and rosiglitaxone have been shown to be helpful for re-ducing cardiovascular risk as discussed by the authors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Age and gender distributions of coronary artery calcium detected by electron beam tomography in 35,246 adults.
Julie A. Hoff,Eva V. Chomka,Andrew J. Krainik,Martha L. Daviglus,Stuart Rich,George T. Kondos +5 more
TL;DR: A set of age- and gender-stratified CAC distributions are developed to serve as standards for the clinical interpretation of EBT scans and will assist the clinician in interpreting EBT CAC results.
