Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is an established marker of subclinical atherosclerosis and an independent predictor of future coronary heart disease in the asymptomatic primary prevention population, particularly in the intermediate risk cohort. CAC also helps in reclassifying those patients and their ...
CACS可以预测未来发生心血管事件的风险,并用于指导治疗和管理决策。 总结来说,“coronary artery calcification score”是指冠状动脉钙化评分,用于评估冠状动脉钙化的程度或严重性,并提供心血管疾病风险的预测和指导治疗决策的依据。常见的冠状动脉钙化评分方法包括Agatston Score和CACS。

There have been no data with regard to the relationship between coronary artery calcification (CAC) detected with positron emission tomography (PET)/computed tomography (CT), as incidental findings, and myocardial perfusion single photon computed tomography (MPS) results in patients with cancer.The mai...

Abstract: Coronary artery calcification is attracting increasing attention. The presence of calcification indicates the existence of subclinical atherosclerosis, although atherosclerosis is not always accompanied by calcification. In general, the extent of the calcificati...
The absence of calcification at ultrafast CT had a 100% negative predictive value for clinically significant coronary artery disease. Specificity and positive predictive value were 47% and 62%, respectively. Sensitivity and specificity of ultrafast CT in the detection of patients with angiographically ...
The presence of coronary artery calcification is age- and gender-dependent. This calcification is present in 90% of men and 67% of women older than 70; the difference is attributed to the protective effect of estrogen in premenopausal women. The Women's Health Initiative demonstrated a lower me...
Vascular calcification is an important hallmark of atherosclerosis. Coronary artery calcification (CAC) implies the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD), irrespective of risk factors or symptoms, is concomitant with the development of advanced atherosclerosis. Coronary thrombosis is the most common ...
