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. ...
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 (...
A microsimulation model was constructed in TreeAge Healthcare Pro using data from 1,083 participants in the CAUGHT-CAD (Coronary Artery Calcium Score: Use to Guide Management of HerediTary Coronary Artery Disease) trial. Outcomes assessed were quality-adjusted life years (QALYs): cost-effectiveness...
Coronary artery calcium is only present in atherosclerotic arteries3 and can be quantified quickly and noninvasively with electron-beam computed tomography (EBCT) at a cost of approximately $400 to $500 per scan. The resulting CAC score represents an assessment of the presence and extent of ...

Coronary artery calcium measurements CAC was measured via a multidetector CT scanner (GE Revolution CT 256, USA). The CAC Agatston score is calculated via a standardized method. The total calcification score was determined by adding the left main artery (LMA), left anterior descending (LAD), lef...
