Article Synopsis
- Calcified nodules (CNs) are high-risk lesions that can emerge from untreated calcified lesions, leading to serious health issues like cardiac death and myocardial infarction.
- A study with 372 patients tracked the development of new CNs over approximately 1.5 years, finding that 7% of lesions showed new CNs at follow-up.
- Factors like the presence of residual lipid, larger calcified volume, increased motion during heart cycles, and longer time since initial imaging were linked to the formation of new CNs and were associated with worse clinical outcomes.
