冠状动脉钙化的研究进展

摘要

冠状动脉粥样硬化斑块的进展程度较冠状动脉狭窄对发生心血管事件的预测价值更高,冠状动脉钙化(CAC)可以定量冠状动脉粥样硬化斑块负荷.因此,与传统的心血管危险因素相比,冠状动脉钙化积分在预测未来心血管事件及病死率中起着更为重要的作用,已成为一个独立的预测因素.现就CAC与冠状动脉粥样硬化斑块的关系,CAC的测定与影响因素及其与心血管疾病的关系予以综述.%The extent of coronary atherosclerosis, rather than the severity of stenosis,is the most important predictor of cardiovascular events.Coronary artery calcification( CAC )can quantify the atherosclerotic plaque burden.Therefore the CAC score has been confirmed to play a more important role in predicting the future cardiovascular events and mortality than the conventional cardiovascular risk factors,.Here is to review the relationship between CAC and atherosclerotic plaque burden, CAC testing and influencers, and its relationship with cardiovascular diseases.
