TLDR
Electron beam computed tomographic calcium scores correlate moderately well with angiographic findings and predict coronary heart disease-related events in patients undergoing angiography as well as do the number of angiographically affected arteries.About:

TL;DR: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis was initiated in July 2000 to investigate the prevalence, correlates, and progression of subclinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) in a population-based sample of 6,500 men and women aged 45-84 years for identification and characterization of CVD events.

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.

TL;DR: The utility and limitations of generations of cardiac CT systems are reviewed, with emphasis on CT measurement of CAD and coronary artery calcified plaque (CACP) and noncalcified plaque.

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.

A method of comparing the areas under receiver operating characteristic curves derived from the same cases.
TL;DR: This paper refines the statistical comparison of the areas under two ROC curves derived from the same set of patients by taking into account the correlation between the areas that is induced by the paired nature of the data.

Quantification of coronary artery calcium using ultrafast computed tomography
Arthur S. Agatston,Warren R. Janowitz,Warren R. Janowitz,Frank J. Hildner,Frank J. Hildner,N R Zusmer,N R Zusmer,Manuel Viamonte,Manuel Viamonte,Robert Detrano,Robert Detrano +10 more
TL;DR: In this article, the authors used ultrafast computed tomography (UCT) to detect and quantify coronary artery calcium levels in 584 subjects (mean age 48 +/- 10 years) with and without clinical coronary artery disease.

Coronary artery calcification: assessment with electron beam CT and histomorphometric correlation.
Gisela C. Mautner,Susanne L. Mautner,J Froehlich,I M Feuerstein,M A Proschan,William C. Roberts,J L Doppman +6 more
TL;DR: The amount of calcific deposits detected with electron beam CT correlates highly with histomorphometric measurements and correlates well with the degree of coronary artery stenosis, suggesting Electron beam CT is a promising noninvasive technique that can help depict the presence and extent of atherosclerotic plaques.
