Özet
Background. Coronary artery calcification scores (CACS) calculated by electron beam computed tomography (EBCT) have been correlated with atherosclerotic burden in the non-uraemic population. However, the validity of this test in. chronic haemodialysis patients (HD) is currently uncertain. In the present cross-sectional study, associations between carotid atherosclerosis and coronary calcification in HD patients are investigated.
