Summary

Calcium scoring of the coronary arteries is use as a predictor of coronary stenosis. The aim of this study is to measure the calcium scoring of the abdominal aorta using an helicoidal fast scan and to correlate this measurement with classical cardiovascular risk factors and newer parameters reflecting vascular rigidity, like pulse velocity measurement.

Conditions

Interventions

DEVICE

Helicoidal fast scann

Each patient will have an computed aortic tomodensitometric scan without contrast injection. This procedure lasts few minutes and irradiation is low. The aortic calcium scoring is calculated using a specific program included in the scan machine
