Coronary calcium associated with changes in instrumental and humoral markers of sympathetic activity in patients with non-obstructive coronary atherosclerosis
Correlation of coronary calcium reveals significant impacts on sympathetic activity and cholesterol levels in patients with non-obstructive coronary atherosclerosis.
Key Points
Presence of coronary calcium significantly correlates with harmful cholesterol levels and heart risks, indicating further investigation is warranted.
Coronary calcium index associates with heart rate variability measures, highlighting the relationship between cardiovascular health and autonomic nervous system performance.
Patients with a family history of coronary heart disease show higher odds of having significant coronary calcium levels, emphasizing genetic risk factors.
Identified threshold values for cholesterol and molecular markers help in predicting coronary calcium presence, facilitating early detection strategies.
