Supplementation with vitamin K2 may help slow the progression of coronary artery calcification among people with mild ...

The coronary artery supplies blood to the heart. If calcium builds up in the coronary artery, it can lead to coronary artery disease and increase a person’s risk of a heart attack. Calcium is the most ...

A recent research letter published in the journal Nature Cardiovascular Research describes two new genetic loci associated with coronary artery calcification (CAC). CAC is a measure of atherosclerosis ...

Calcification is when calcium deposits form. This may be due to age. However, there are also links to infection, injury, or cancer. Calcium is one of the most abundant minerals in the body. It is ...

A new study published suggests that the connection between coronary artery calcification—a measure of calcium buildup in the arteries—and bone mineral density may be driven in part by shared genetic ...

A recent study aimed to understand whether psoriasis and psoriatic arthritis are independent risk factors for coronary calcification and coronary artery disease. It found both correlate with higher ...

Calcification is the abnormal accumulation of calcium salts in body tissue. This abnormal accumulation of calcium in the kidney is referred to as nephrocalcinosis, which means a generalized increase ...

We determined genomewide associations with the presence of aortic-valve calcification (among 6942 participants) and mitral annular calcification (among 3795 participants), as detected by computed ...
