Cademartiri et al (2010) compared the coronary artery calcium score (CACS) and CTCA for the assessment of non-obstructive/obstructive CAD in high-risk asymptomatic subjects. A total of 213 consecutive asymptomatic subjects (113 males; mean age of 53.6 +/- 12.4 years) with more than 1 risk ...
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. ...

ROC curve .A 90.5 mg/dL cut-off value of LDL-C was found to have a sensitivity of 87.1% and a specificity of 74.0% for predicting the probability of CACS ≥300. LDL-C: low-density lipoprotein cholesterol; CACS: coronary artery calcium score Full size imageDiscussion...

calcium, and other substances found in the blood. Coronary artery calcium refers to the build-up of calcium in the coronary arteries, and it usually correlates with the amount of plaque in these blood vessels. As the the amount of plaque increases in the coronary arteries, the amount of calc...
This study involving 2 large, community-based, longitudinal, cohort studies whether adding 2 markers—coronary artery calcium score and polygenic risk
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 (...
Objective: To assess coronary artery calcium (CAC) score and subsequent risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) and cardiovascular (CVD) events among asymptomatic women judged to be at low risk by the Framingham risk score ( FRS), a common approach for determining 10-year absolute risk for CHD...
