Combined Associations of Glycoprotein Acetylation With Lipoprotein (a) and hs‐CRP (High‐Sensitivity C‐Reactive Protein) on Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in MESA

BACKGROUND: Higher plasma glycoprotein acetylation (GlycA) concentrations are associated with an increased risk for incident cardiovascular disease (CVD). We investigated the combined associations of GlycA with lipoprotein (a) (Lp[a]) and hs-CRP (high-sensitivity C-reactive prote...

Development and Validation of a Coronary Artery Calcium Volume and Density Score

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring is a useful tool for coronary heart disease (CHD) risk prediction. The current standard method, the Agatston score, weights plaque area upward by density. However, higher density is inversely associated with CHD. We aimed to devel...
