Review highlights advances in imaging, biomarkers, and trace elements for early coronary atherosclerosis diagnosis.
Coronary atherosclerosis is a potentially chronic circulatory condition that endangers human health. The biological cause underpinning cardiovascular disease is coronary atherosclerosis, and acute cardiovascular events can develop due to thrombosis, platelet aggregation, and unstable atherosclerotic plaque rupture. Coronary atherosclerosis is progressive, and three specific changes appear, with fat spots and stripes, atherosclerosis and thin-walled fiber atherosclerosis, and then complex changes in arteries. The progression and severity of cardiovascular disease are correlated with various levels of calcium accumulation in the coronary artery. The therapy and diagnosis of coronary atherosclerosis benefit from the initial assessment of the size and degree of calcification. This article will discuss the new progress in the early diagnosis of coronary atherosclerosis in terms of three aspects: imaging, gene and protein markers, and trace elements. This study intends to present the latest methods for diagnosing patients with early atherosclerosis through a literature review.

Meng et al. (2022) conducted a review in Coronary atherosclerosis. Early diagnosis methods (imaging, markers, trace elements) was evaluated. This literature review outlined new progress in the early diagnosis of coronary atherosclerosis, focusing on advances in imaging, gene and protein markers, and trace elements.
