  • BACKGROUND AND AIMS: Atherosclerotic calcification is a powerful predictor of cardiovascular disease. (bvsalud.org)
  • This study aims to determine whether circulating levels of a local/systemic calcification inhibitor or a marker of bone formation correlate with measures of coronary or extracoronary calcification. (bvsalud.org)
  • Calcification, combined with the deposition of fatty atherosclerotic plaque formation is the genesis of so many cardiovascular issues, including hypertension, coronary heart disease, heart attacks, and strokes. (brickhousenutrition.com)
  • It carboxylates the glutamate residues in matrix Gla protein, which enables it to bind and remove calcium from blood vessels and thus prevent the formation atherosclerotic calcific plaques. (tahomaclinicblog.com)
  • Ima-ging methods as well as clinical examina-tions are used for the detection of atherosclerotic plaques, which capture up to hemodynamically significant plaques. (atheroreview.eu)

  • In a study of 45 postmenopausal women with normal and low BMD, an inverse relationship was found between BMD and coronary calcification. (medscape.com)
  • In a nine-year, population-based study of 236 women, progression of atherosclerotic calcification was associated with increasing bone loss. (medscape.com)
  • [ 7 ] These women also had a 0.32-ng/mL higher adjusted undercarboxylated osteocalcin level (95% CI, 0.03-0.61 ng/mL) and lower hydroxyapetite-binding capacity than those women without aortic calcification. (medscape.com)
  • It is generally thought that calcifications are composed of hydroxyapatite in advanced atherosclerotic lesions and that atherosclerotic calcification occurs passively as the result of precipitation of calcified material in cores of dying cells. (tue.nl)
  • However, recent findings might indicate that atherosclerotic calcification is an actively regulated process involving, among others, bone matrix regulatory proteins. (tue.nl)
  • Data about the distribution and composition of the calcifications at a very early stage of the atherosclerotic process are scarce, as is information whether trace-elements could be involved in the calcification process. (tue.nl)
  • Additionally, autophagy also plays a role in osteogenesis by regulating vascular calcification, which in turn regulates expression of proteins related to bone development, such as osteocalcin, osteonectin, etc. and regulated by mTOR, EphrinB2 and RhoA. (biomedcentral.com)
  • Large calcified deposits of the intimal lesions are a prominent feature of advanced atherosclerotic lesions. (tue.nl)
  • Most information on atherosclerotic calcifications deals with advanced intimal lesions and chemical analysis was mainly performed on larger, solid crystals. (tue.nl)
  • Chemical bulk analysis of the mineral part of human aortas, with advanced atherosclerotic lesions, showed that the average mass ratio of calcium to phosphorus is close to the ratio of hydroxyapatite, i.e. 2.16, which is the main constituent of bone tissue1. (tue.nl)
  • In a pioneering study of by Pallon et al.4 the co-localization of iron and zinc with calcium granules, 10 to 20 µm in diameter, was observed in early atherosclerotic lesions in human coronary arteries. (tue.nl)
  • To investigate the distribution, composition (calcium-to-phosphorus mass ratio) and trace-element contents of calcifications in early atherosclerotic lesions a technique was applied with high sensitivity, specificity and resolution, i.e., micro-Proton Induced X-ray Emission in combination with Backscattering and Forward Scattering Spectroscopy5, 6.

  • However, the Cardiovascular Outcomes in Renal Atherosclerotic Lesions (CORAL) trial recently demonstrated that PTRA does not confer any additional benefit over medical therapy with respect to the prevention of hospitalization or death from myocardial infarction, congestive heart failure and other cardiovascular causes [ 4 ].
