Coronary atherosclerosis can be detected by computed tomography. The amount of coronary artery calcification (CAC) is related to cardiovascular risk factors, the strength of the gender specific relation between lipoprotein parameters and CAC has not extensively been studied. Especially, the role of routinely determined lipoproteins in contrast to less common and computed lipid parameters (e.g. ratios)...
Inhabitants of deprived neighbourhoods are at higher risk of coronary heart disease. In this study we investigate the hypothesis that social inequalities at neighbourhood level become already manifest in subclinical coronary atherosclerosis, as defined by electron-beam computed tomography derived measures. Coronary artery calcification was assessed as a marker of atherosclerosis in a population based...
Die Heinz Nixdorf Recall Studie ist eine seit dem Jahr 2000 laufende bevölkerungsbasierte Studie zur verbesserten Vorhersage kardiovaskulärer Ereignisse durch Einbeziehung moderner bildgebender und nichtbildgebender Verfahren. Ein Schwerpunkt liegt in der Evaluation der prognostischen Bedeutung der koronaren Kalzifizierung („coronary artery calcium“ [CAC]). Die derzeitig verwendeten Algorithmen zur...
Background: Regular physical exercise is recommended to reduce cardiovascular mortality. And yet, atherosclerosis is the main cause of exercise-associated death in persons beyond age 35. The need for risk stratification in marathon runners is under discussion. The predictive value of modern imaging- and non-imaging-based markers of risk that can be used for risk stratification in masters...
