In the overall cohort, fat-omics (C-index: 77.3) outperformed models using clinical factors, EAT volume, Agatston score, calcium-omics, and calcium-and-fat-omics to predict HF. For DM patients, the calcium-omics model (C-index: 81.8) outperformed other models. In conclusion, CTCS-based ...
CHD indicates coronary heart disease; CT computed tomography; and CVD, cardiovascular disease. Figure 2.

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 ...
Calcium Score A coronary calcium scan is a test that looks for specks of calcium in the walls of the coronary (heart) arteries. These specks of calcium are called calcifications (KAL-sih-fih-KA-shuns). Calcifications in the coronary arteries are an early sign of coronary heart disease (...
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 ...
How to Reverse Heart Disease with the Coronary Calcium Score.The AHA (American Heart Association) has steadfastly denied for many years that Coronary Calcium Scoring was a valid marker of heart disease. Well, apparently they were wrong….Read More ...
ContextThe coronary artery calcium score (CACS) has been shown to predict future coronary heart disease (CHD) events. However, the extent to which adding
