Reports on scans that can measure the amount of calcium in your coronary arteries being used as tests for heart disease. Explanation of how quick and simple it is to scan for the amount of calcium in your arteries; Description of why test results with high calcium scores are much more of ...
A CT cardiac calcium scoring test, also known as a calcium scan, can be suitable for people between the ages of 40 and 70 who have an increased heart disease risk but are not showing any symptoms. At the end of a calcium scan, patients are given a calcium score. But what is cardiac...
The article discusses a study which investigated whether the addition of the coronary artery calcium score (CACS) to a prediction model based on traditional risk factors improves classification of coronary heart disease risk. Measurement of CACS was based on computed tomography in 6,814 participants ...

If the results of the test are positive, the person who has undergone testing has some coronary artery calcification. He or she is assigned a score based on the extent of calcification, and this score is one indicator that can be used to assess heart attack risk. The higher the score, th...
Relationship between age and calcium score was analysed with Spearma's Rank, regression analysis and receiver operating characteristics (ROC). Results 1665 patients were identified and 164 were excluded, leaving 1501 patients (F=735, M=766; Range=17-94; Median=58). The proportion of clinically ...

Generating a coronary artery calcium (CAC) score requires a quick CT scan, with no intravenous (IV) access or IV contrast required. Results are available within minutes. The CT scan reliably detects arterial calcification, and the amount of calcium present correlates with the risk for sign...
