Copeptin as a marker of atherosclerosis and arteriosclerosis
2021, AtherosclerosisCitation Excerpt :The mean value of the measurements was used in further analysis. The calcium content in each coronary artery, visualized by CT (Somatom Definition Flash, Siemens Medical Solution, Forchheim, Germany) was measured and summed to produce a total CACS [28] according to the scoring system previously described by Agatston et al. [29]. Weight was measured with participants in light clothing, using calibrated scales.
The co-existence of diabetes and subclinical atherosclerosis in rural central Appalachia: Do residential characteristics matter?
2021, Journal of Diabetes and its ComplicationsCitation Excerpt :This study focuses on subclinical atherosclerosis in patients with diabetes; therefore, participants were asked a yes/no question regarding diagnosis of or medication to treat diabetes. CAC was assessed using computed tomography and scores were ascertained based on the standard/validated Agatston algorithm.16 Accordingly, CAC score > 0 indicated the presence of atherosclerosis (i.e., coronary artery disease) at the subclinical level.
