Prognostic value of coronary calcification and angiographic stenoses in patients undergoing coronary angiography.

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.

Sevelamer attenuates the progression of coronary and aortic calcification in hemodialysis patients.

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.

Cardiac calcification in adult hemodialysis patients: A link between end-stage renal disease and cardiovascular disease?

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.

- 01 Sep 1983 - 
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

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.

Interobserver variability in coronary angiography.

TL;DR: Interobserver variability reveals a significant limitation of coronary angiography.

Coronary artery calcification: assessment with electron beam CT and histomorphometric correlation.

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.
