Xu Y, Xu W, Wang A, Meng H, Wang Y, Liu S, et al. Non-invasive vascular tests reliably exclude occult arterial trauma in injured extremities. Peripheral arterial disease detection, awareness, and treatment in primary care. Hirsch AT, Criqui MH, Treat-Jacobson D, Regensteiner JG, Creager MA, Olin JW, et al. Current utility of the ankle-brachial index (ABI) in general practice: implications for its use in cardiovascular disease screening. Profound influence of different methods for determination of the ankle brachial index on the prevalence estimate of peripheral arterial disease. This suggests that calcification of atherosclerotic plaque yields other information in addition to merely the presence of plaques, providing novel insights into the etiology of vascular brain disease.Lange SF, Trampisch HJ, Pittrow D, Darius H, Mahn M, Allenberg JR, et al. Most notably, larger intracranial carotid calcification load relates to larger WML volumes, and larger extracranial carotid calcification load relates to the presence of cerebral infarcts, independently of ultrasound carotid plaque score. No associations were found between calcification and cerebral microbleeds.Īrterial calcification in major vessel beds is associated with vascular brain disease on magnetic resonance imaging.
Adjustment for cardiovascular risk factors or ultrasound carotid plaque scores did not change these results. The most prominent associations were found between intracranial carotid calcification and WML volume and between extracranial carotid calcification and infarcts.
Calcification in each vessel bed was associated with presence of cerebral infarcts and with larger WML volume. Brain magnetic resonance imaging scans were performed to assess cerebral infarcts, microbleeds, and white matter lesions (WMLs). We investigated the relationship between calcification in various vessel beds outside the brain and imaging markers of vascular brain disease.Ī total of 885 community-dwelling people (mean age, 66.7 years) underwent computed tomography of the coronary arteries, aortic arch, and extracranial and intracranial carotid arteries to assess arterial calcification. However, its relationship with cerebrovascular disease has not been investigated extensively. Calcification in atherosclerotic plaques is a novel marker of atherosclerosis and is related to cardiovascular disease.
