Abstract

The evaluation of calcium of the coronary arteries on a vessel-by-vessel basis by use of electron beam computed tomography was useful in obstructed coronary arteries. The absence of coronary calcification in any vessel was highly specific for the absence of an obstructive lesion.

Cardiovascular Diseases: Risk Factors

Cardiovascular disease is a significant health concern. Risk factors include hypertension, obesity, dyslipidemia and smoking. Women who are postmenopausal are at an increased risk of heart disease. Here is the latest research for risk factors of cardiovascular disease.
