促卵泡激素在绝经后女性冠状动脉粥样硬化中的新兴作用：综合综述

绝经后女性心血管疾病的发病率急剧上升，尤其是冠心病，已成为全球女性面临的主要健康问题。以往的观点认为，雌激素水平下降是绝经后女性风险升高的主要原因。近年来，越来越多的证据表明，绝经后水平急剧升高的促卵泡激素（FSH）可能在此过程中发挥关键作用。本文系统总结了来自临床和动物研究的现有证据，评估了FSH与绝经后女性冠心病风险之间的关系，探索了相互矛盾的证据，并检查了其在动脉粥样硬化发病机制和心脏代谢风...

利用冠状动脉钙化评分预测有疑似心脏症状个体中的冠心病：诊断研究

冠心病（CAD）仍然是全球死亡的主要原因，冠状动脉钙化（CAC）作为动脉粥样硬化的标志物已被广泛认识。虽然CAC评分是评估心血管风险的既定无创工具，但其在有疑似心脏症状的个体中预测冠心病的诊断价值仍需进一步评估。本研究旨在探讨CAC评分在预测有疑似心脏症状个体中冠心病方面的诊断性能。研究纳入了因疑似心脏症状转诊进行非对比计算机断层扫描的患者，所有患者随后接受了有创冠状动脉造影作为参考标准。分析了C...
