Is high-local coronary calcium score related to regional left ventricular dysfunction in individuals without a history of clinical cardiovascular disease?
Coronary artery atherosclerosis, indicated by high local calcium scores, is linked to subclinical regional left ventricular dysfunction even in individuals without known cardiovascular disease.
High-local calcium score is related to regional dysfunction in the corresponding coronary territory among individuals without a history of previous heart disease. These results indicate a link between atherosclerosis and subclinical regional left ventricular dysfunction.
