- November 26, 2008 - Young healthy adults with higher levels of phosphorus in the blood are more likely to have increased levels of calcium in the coronary arteries, according to the results of a study reported in the November 5 issue of the Journal of the American Society of Nephrology . (medscape.com)
- This study aimed to determine whether an association exists between phosphorus levels and coronary artery calcium levels in a community-based cohort of 3015 healthy young adults in the prospective Coronary Artery Risk Development in Young Adults (CARDIA) study. (medscape.com)
- In unadjusted models, phosphorus levels were associated with coronary artery calcium, and in multivariate models, phosphorus levels were significantly associated with the category of coronary artery calcium level. (medscape.com)

- of these tests, coronary artery calcium (CAC) scanning has emerged as the top contender. (medscape.com)
Vessels5
- The coronary arteries are major blood vessels that supply blood to the heart. (tenethealth.com)
- These arteries are the blood vessels that bring blood to the heart muscle. (uofmhealth.org)
- The doctor will use blood vessels from your chest, arm, or leg to bypass the narrowed or blocked parts of your arteries. (uofmhealth.org)
- PTCRA utilises small rotating devices to selectively remove the build-up of atherosclerotic plaques from within coronary vessels. (cochrane.org)
- Coronary arteries are the major blood vessels that supply your heart with blood, oxygen and nutrients. (uofmhealth.org)
Revascularization1
- They evaluated 3281 subjects with paired scans performed over a larger interscan interval, 5.1 years, and with 7.8 years of follow-up after the second scan, resulting in 85 hard coronary, 161 hard cardiovascular, and 241 total cardiovascular events inclusive of revascularization. (medscape.com)
Risk2
- First-line biologic treatment of psoriasis reduces inflammation in the skin but also appears to improve three high-risk coronary plaque features, a new study suggests. (medscape.com)
- Stent induced hemodynamic changes in the coronary arteries are associated with higher risk of adverse clinical outcome. (researchgate.net)
Walls1
- This is called atheromatosis, an inflammatory arterial change that leads to dysfunction of the endothelium and the deposition of lipids or fats in the artery walls. (news-medical.net)
Narrowing2
- It is caused by more severe narrowing of the arteries. (wikipedia.org)
- Severe narrowing of the main heart artery. (mayoclinic.org)
Blood flow10
- There is also the conus artery, which is only present in about 45 percent of the human population, and which provides collateral blood flow to the heart when the left anterior descending artery is occluded. (wikipedia.org)
- Health care professionals can measure blood pressure within the heart and the strength of blood flow through the heart's chambers as well as collect blood samples from the heart or inject dye into the arteries of the heart (coronary arteries). (cdc.gov)
- Coronary artery bypass surgery is done to restore blood flow around a blocked heart artery. (mayoclinic.org)
- With CAD, these arteries narrow and harden, decreasing or potentially blocking blood flow to the heart. (tenethealth.com)
- When cholesterol and plaque (a waxy substance) build up inside the arteries, blood flow can be restricted. (mhs.net)
- The stent opens the artery and restores blood flow. (mhs.net)
- The main way to increase the oxygen supply to the heart is to increase the blood flow through the coronary arteries. (stlukesonline.org)
- Your heart increases the blood flow by widening (dilating) your coronary arteries. (stlukesonline.org)
- But when a coronary artery becomes blocked, collateral coronary arteries help increase the flow of blood to the area of the heart that is being deprived of blood flow. (stlukesonline.org)
- Over time, plaque residues narrow your coronary arteries and decrease the blood flow to your heart. (uofmhealth.org)
