A study in the Journal of Vascular Surgery revealed that adding FFRCT assessments to patient workups prior to peripheral artery disease surgeries has a massive impact on coronary artery disease detection, treatments, and long-term outcomes.

Results Brandenburg patients with cardiovascular diseases showed higher Lp(a) levels than healthy controls (24.2% vs. 14.8%, p  = 0.001), and the high-Lp(a) group demonstrated a higher prevalence of coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease, or cerebrovascular disease than the low-Lp(a) group ( p  = 0.004).

1 Atherosclerosis is a systemic disease that affects multiple vascular regions and is particularly severe in PAD patients, where up to 80 percent suffer from concurrent coronary artery disease (CAD), historically linked with a mortality rate exceeding 50 percent within five years.

Introduction The presence of non-coronary atherosclerosis (NCA) in patients with coronary artery disease is associated with a poor prognosis. We have studied whether NCA is also a predictor of poorer outcomes in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass grafting (CABG).

Atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD), caused by plaque buildup in arterial walls, is one of the leading causes of disability and death worldwide.1,2 1,2 ASCVD causes or contributes to conditions that include coronary artery disease (CAD), cerebrovascular disease, and peripheral vascular disease (inclusive of aortic aneurysm).3
