Abstract:
Background:In 1904, Monkeberg was first described about the coronary calcification which is the degenerative change that occurs with aging process, but the last decades many studies have been confirmed that coronary calcification was an active process same as the signaling pathways with bone mineralization. Coronary calcification increases the risk of myocardial infarction during bypass graft surgery and PCI (СМ СN. Shanahan, 1999).
Goal:To evaluate Agatston Coronary Artery Calcium score using contrast enhanced CT-Coronary angiography.
Objectives:1. To assess Agatston Coronary Artery Calcium score
2. Age and gender relationship of coronary calcification
Materials and Methods:We evaluated total 215 patients who were admitted to the Reference center of Diagnostic Imaging named after R.Purev State Laureate, People’s physician and Honorary Professor of the Third State
Central Hospital awarded with the Red banner of the Labor diagnosed with the coronary calcification by contrast enhanced 64 slice CT (Philips Ingenuity CT 64) between 2020 to 2022. Patient’s age was
considered into 6 groups and coronary calcification was assessed by Agatston’s score. The result of our study determined by common statistical averages and errors and probabilities of the indicators
were determined by Student’s criteria.
Result:When evaluating Agatston coronary artery calcium scoring by CT-coronary angiography, 11-400 Agatston score was predominantly in our study with p value of (P<0.001). Considering relationship of age and gender, coronary calcification occurs 42.3% of patients aged 50-69, male and female ratio was 1.7:1.
Conclusions:1. We established Agatston coronary calcification 11-400 was occurred in 66.96% of the patients.
2. Coronary calcification predominantly occurred in 65% patients aged 50-69 years.
