People with high score of coronary artery calcification are more easily to suffer from cancers

Scientists at Johns Hopkins University said that if a person's coronary artery calcium score is high, the risk of suffering from lung disease and kidney disease is relatively high.

According to the report of Associated Press that coronary artery calcium levels are often used to monitor whether people suffering from heart disease and cardiovascular disease, recent research indicates that high levels of coronary artery calcification is a risk of people suffering from cancer on larger. Scientists have determined coronary artery calcium score by using cardiac CT measuring the number and concentration of calcium in the blood vessels, if someone scores high; it means that he is likely to suffer from coronary heart disease and stroke.

Clinical research for the US Johns Hopkins University Ciccarone Preventive Cardiology Center, Dr. Michael Blaha said the coronary artery calcium score is high, it indicates that there are people likely to suffer from cancer, kidney disease, lung disease and cardiovascular disease. Thus coronary artery calcium score can be used to predict non-cardiovascular diseases.

Scientists of 6814 aged 45 to 84 years of the subjects were investigated for up to an average of 10.2 years after the discovery of which 1238 were tested due to coronary artery calcium score high, suffering from diseases such as cancer, kidney disease, pneumonia, blood coagulation disorders, lung disease and other non-cardiovascular diseases. Only 11% did not appear to suffer from coronary artery calcification in subject’s non-cardiovascular disease, coronary artery calcium score greater than 400 subjects 36.9% had non-cardiovascular diseases.

Two-thirds of cancer patients can be measured with calcium. The score of coronary artery calcium score is higher; the risk of suffering of certain diseases is higher. Compared with the normal people, the risk of cancer increases by 53%; the risk of kidney disease increases by 70%; the risk of lung disease increases by three times; the risk of hip fracture increases more than fourfold.
