Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of measurement of coronary artery calcificationscore (CAC) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) and a normal myocardial perfusion scan.Methods: In a prospective study we measured the calcium score of 74 patients (...
The fact that the CAC score is associated with increased risk does not prove that calcium itself is harmful. It is simply a marker of underlying coronary artery disease. Patients with high CAC scores have simply had their coronary artery disease detected by the high amount of coronary calcium. ...
We need to advance to personalized risk assessment using noninvasive detection of atherosclerosis with a coronary artery calcium (CAC) score, the most studied and evidence-based test that goes beyond conventional risk assessment. 4. What are the advantages of the CAC score over the status quo?
This cohort study uses data from the CAC Consortium to examine the prevalence of coronary artery calcium in young adults and the subsequent association of
coronary artery calcium scorework hourswork scheduleBackground: Long work hours may be associated with adverse outcomes, including cardiovascular disease. We investigated cross-sectional associations of current work hours with coronary artery calcification (CAC). Methods: Participants (n = 3046; 54.6% ...
The utility of coronary artery calcium (CAC) to re-classify risk in borderline to intermediate-risk cohorts is well established and can assist decision making in FHCAD (8). Theabsenceof coronary calcium in those with FHCAD identifies a very low-risk population with event rates <0.5%/year, ...

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 sig...

Calcium Scoring Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring is a noninvasive test that has been reported to detect the presence of subclinical coronary artery disease (CAD) by measuring the location and extent of calcium in the coronary arteries. Purportedly, the presence of (CAC) has been shown to ...
