Coronary artery calcification: Clinical implications and angiographic correlates

摘要: Summary A prospective study of 250 consecutive patients with angiographically proved arteriosclerotic heart disease and normal coronary angiograms is reported to evaluate the significance artery calcification. Coronary calcification was present in 76 per cent as compared 22 angiograms. The frequency increased progressively increasing age. In aged 49 or less presence strongly favors diagnosis disease. Patients double- triple-vessel are more likely have than single-vessel Calcification involve a involved significant but not related severity that main left helpful predicting artery. two three arteries indicated singlevessel unlikely.
