Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2020 at "Journal of the American College of Cardiology"
DOI: 10.1016/j.jacc.2020.01.047
Abstract: Although high coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores predict high risk, absence of CAC has been shown to be a powerful negative risk marker for the development of coronary heart disease (CHD) ([1][1]). Accordingly, the 2018… read more here.

DOI: 10.1530/ec-22-0123
Abstract: Introduction Tertiary hyperparathyroidism (THPT) and vitamin D deficiency are commonly seen in kidney transplant recipients, which may result in persistently elevated fibroblast growth factor 23 (FGF23) level after transplantation and decreased graft survival. The aim… read more here.
