High coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores were shown to predict a higher likelihood of inducible myocardial ischemia and to be associated with a poor cardio-vascular prognosis. However the predictive value for coronary stenoses (CS) has not been tested in asymptomatic diabetic patients. This study...
Still, a patient with a high CAC score is more likely to block a coronary artery than a patient with a low CAC score. An individual with a CAC score of zero is very unlikely to have a severe blockage of a coronary artery. You can read about what it means to have a calcium score o...
CAC = coronary artery calcium; CAD = coronary artery disease; CT = computed tomography; CVD = cardiovascular disease; EBCT = electron-beam computed tomography; HNR = Heinz Nixdorf Recall; MDCT = multidetector computed tomography; MESA = Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis. ∗ Number with CT ...
The coronary artery calcium score enhances clinical risk stratification for patients at risk for atherosclerotic coronary disease.Image: Adobe Stock The Agatston algorithm — a semi-automated tool developed byArthur Agatston, MD, in 1990 to quantify arterial calcium — is used to compute a n...

This cross-sectional study compares coronary artery calcium scores in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis, type 2 diabetes, and healthy controls.
CAC score was noted to be 306.6. By each coronary vessel, the CAC score of the left main was 114, left anterior descending artery was 132, left circumflex artery was 8.4, and the right coronary artery was 52. Patient’s coronary calcium burden puts him at the 98th percentile for his ag...
