Coronary artery calcification in older adults with minimal clinical or subclinical cardiovascular disease

Article Abstract:

An observational epidemiologic study of 106 older adults found higher total coronary artery calcification scores in subjects with clinical or subclinical cardiovascular disease than in those with no evidence of disease. A relationship was also found between increasing calcium score and white matter grade and subclinical stroke on the cerebral MRI.

Coronary artery calcium: association with brain magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities and cognitive status

Article Abstract:

A study on the elderly persons with higher levels of coronary artery calcification is presented. It is observed that these patients are more likely to show greater level of severity in magnetic resonance imaging abnormalities. These patients are also more prone to dementia.
