Relation of aortic valve calcium to myocardial ischemic perfusion in individuals with a low coronary artery calcium scoreJohn Ho
Cooper Clinic, Dallas, Texas, USA
Am J Cardiol 99:1535-7. 2007..0% vs 1.7%). In conclusion, a CAC score <10 is associated with a low rate of myocardial ischemia. AVC may identify a subset of patients who may be at higher risk...
Severe coronary artery calcifications are associated with ischemia in patients undergoing medical therapyJohn Ho
Cooper Clinic, Dallas, TX 75230, USA
J Nucl Cardiol 14:341-6. 2007..These patients frequently exhibit an artificially low clinical suspicion for obstructive heart disease. Whether detection of CAC adds value to their assessment is unknown...
Relation of a coronary artery calcium score higher than 400 to coronary stenoses detected using multidetector computed tomography and to traditional cardiovascular risk factorsJohn S Ho
Cooper Clinic, Dallas, Texas, USA
Am J Cardiol 101:1444-7. 2008..6 to 6.0) and 6.9 (95% confidence interval 3.5 to 13.5), respectively. In conclusion, a CAC score >400 was significantly associated with multidetector CT angiographic stenoses independently of traditional risk factors...
Relation of the number of metabolic syndrome risk factors with all-cause and cardiovascular mortalityJohn S Ho
Cooper Clinic, Dallas, Texas, USA
Am J Cardiol 102:689-92. 2008..In conclusion, there is a continuum of risk as the number of metabolic syndrome risk factors increases. These findings add to the growing evidence that central obesity can independently and adversely affect health...
Comparative relation of general, central, and visceral adiposity measures for coronary artery calcium in subjects without previous coronary eventsJohn S Ho
Cooper Clinic, Dallas, TX, USA
Am J Cardiol 104:943-6. 2009..These findings suggest that the total amount of central obesity is more important than the relative distribution of visceral versus subcutaneous fat...
Risk of mortality increases with increasing number of abnormal non-ST parameters recorded during exercise testingJohn S Ho
Cooper Clinic, 12200 Preston Road, Dallas, TX 75230, USA
Eur J Cardiovasc Prev Rehabil 17:462-8. 2010..Such measures include fitness, resting heart rate (HR), chronotropic incompetence, and HR recovery. However, whether there is an additive association among these parameters and the risk of mortality is unknown...
Effect of increasing body mass index on image quality and positive predictive value of 100-kV coronary computed tomographic angiographyJohn S Ho
Cooper Clinic, Dallas, Texas, USA
Am J Cardiol 106:1182-6. 2010..4% [27 of 32]; and PPV for a BMI of ? 30 kg/m(2) but < 35 kg/m(2) 81.8% [18 of 22]). In conclusion, 100-kV coronary CTA is feasible in overweight and many obese subjects...
Anomalous origin of the right coronary artery from the left coronary sinus: case report and literature reviewJohn S Ho
Section of Cardiology, St Luke's Episcopal Hospital and Texas Heart Institute, Houston 77030, USA
Tex Heart Inst J 29:37-9. 2002..After being informed of the potential risks and options associated with this anomaly, the patient chose long-term beta-blocker medical therapy. At follow-up, this treatment appeared to have resolved his episodic syncope...
