多种族动脉粥样硬化(MESA)研究的最新结果表明,冠状动脉钙化(CAC)进展似乎可剂量依赖性增加心房颤动(AF)发生风险。该研究结果近期发表于Circ Cardiovasc Imaging。研究者美国维克森林大学医学院的Wesley O’Neal及其同事入选MESA研究中的5612例无临床心血管疾病(CVD)病史的45~84岁受试者,采用心脏计算机断层扫描所示的Agatston评分评估CAC情况,根据电话随访、病历及医疗保 Recent results from the Multi-Ethnic Atherosclerosis (MESA) study suggest that progression of coronary artery calcification (CAC) appears to increase the risk of atrial fibrillation (AF) in a dose-dependent manner. The results of the study recently published in Circ Cardiovasc Imaging. Researchers Wesley O’Neal and colleagues from the Wake Forest University School of Medicine enrolled 5612 subjects aged 45-84 years without a history of clinical cardiovascular disease (CVD) from the MESA study using cardiac computerized tomography The Agatston score assesses CAC based on telephone follow-up, medical record and health insurance
