Patients with high CAC scores have simply had their coronary artery disease detected by the high amount of coronary calcium. The calcium itself is not the problem. Indeed, it has been suggested that the calcium may represent shrinkage and stabilization of plaques (8). Statins are often recommende...

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...

Coronary calcium detection by CT has been shown to identify atherosclerotic plaque and to quantitatively assess coronary calcium; using the Agatston CCS, a surrogate for plaque burden, has been shown to provide powerful prognostic information in multiple studies involving both sexes and multiple ethnic ...
Introduction Coronary artery calcium (CAC) measured by noncontrast cardiac computed tomographic (CT) scan is a noninvasive measure of coronary artery disease that is associated with coronary heart disease (CHD) and cardiovascular disease (CVD) in middle and older age.1-4 The Coronary Artery Risk ...
Calcium Scoring and Interpretation in Cardiac CT Chapter© 2024 Introduction In 1996 and 2000 the American Heart Association (AHA) issued statements on coronary artery calcium (CAC) quantification [1,2]. In 2006 and 2007, several professional societies updated these statements describing new evidence...
Computed tomography (CT) coronary angiogram Sometimes, doctors want a close-up look of your arteries. If so, a special dye is put into your vein before a CT scan. Coronary calcium scan Also called a heart calcium scan or cardiac calcium scan, this test looks for calcium deposits that are...
