Intracranial Arterial Calcification and Intracranial Atherosclerosis: Close but Different

Heng Du et al.

Summary: This study compared the characteristics of intracranial arterial calcification (IAC) in different layers of the artery and its association with atherosclerotic disease. The results showed that intimal IAC was more often accompanied by luminal stenosis, larger plaque burden, eccentricity, and intraplaque hemorrhage (IPH) compared to medial IAC. These findings provide strong evidence for clinical evaluation of the mechanism, risk, and prognosis of ischemic stroke.

Vitamin K and cardiovascular complications in chronic kidney disease patients

Nadine Kaesler et al.

Summary: Vitamin K, particularly K2, plays a role in activating the most potent inhibitor of cardiovascular calcifications. Patients with chronic kidney disease are often deficient in vitamin K and may experience accelerated cardiovascular calcifications. High-dose supplementation with vitamin K2 may reduce the risk of cardiovascular diseases, but further research is needed to confirm these benefits.

Wen-Jie Yang et al.

Summary: The study found that the patterns of intracranial arterial calcification (IAC) are associated with the presence and stability of atherosclerotic plaques. Intimal calcification is more common and coexists with plaques more often, which may indicate the presence of a stable form of plaque.

Vascular Calcification in Chronic Kidney Disease: Distinct Features of Pathogenesis and Clinical Implication

Jin Sug Kim et al.

Summary: Chronic kidney disease (CKD) patients exhibit distinct pathophysiological features and clinical presentations of vascular calcification (VC) compared to the general population. While CKD patients show more intense and prevalent calcification in the intimal and medial layers, the primary goal of treatment is to prevent VC progression by managing the biochemical components of CKD-MBD. Ongoing research is focused on advancing understanding and management of VC in CKD patients.
