TL;DR: The term "vulnerable patient" may be more appropriate and is proposed now for the identification of subjects with high likelihood of developing cardiac events in the near future and a quantitative method for cumulative risk assessment of vulnerable patients needs to be developed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Sevelamer attenuates the progression of coronary and aortic calcification in hemodialysis patients.
Glenn M. Chertow,Glenn M. Chertow,Glenn M. Chertow,Steven K. Burke,Steven K. Burke,Steven K. Burke,Paolo Raggi,Paolo Raggi,Paolo Raggi +8 more
TL;DR: Compared with calcium-based phosphate binders, sevelamer is less likely to cause hypercalcemia, low levels of PTH, and progressive coronary and aortic calcification in hemodialysis patients.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The CAC Measurement Method helps clarify the role of risk assessment in Cardiovascular Medicine and current approaches to Global Risk Assessment and to match the intensity of intervention with the severity of risk.
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
Cardiac calcification in adult hemodialysis patients: A link between end-stage renal disease and cardiovascular disease?
Paolo Raggi,Amy Boulay,Scott Chasan-Taber,Naseem Amin,Maureen A. Dillon,Steven K. Burke,Glenn M. Chertow +6 more
TL;DR: Coronary artery calcification is common, severe and significantly associated with ischemic cardiovascular disease in adult E SRD patients and the dysregulation of mineral metabolism in ESRD may influence vascular calcification risk.
