Coronary calcium score 0: No identifiable coronary artery disease. Coronary calcium score 1-99: Mild coronary artery disease. Coronary calcium score 101-400: Moderate coronary artery disease. Coronary calcium score > 400: Extensive coronary artery disease. When interpreting the CAC score, it is esse...
To evaluate the performance of photon-counting detector (PCD) computed tomography (CT) for coronary artery calcium (CAC) score imaging at standard and reduced radiation doses compared to conventional energy-integrating detector (EID) CT. A dedicated cardiac CT phantom, ten ex vivo human hearts, ...
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 nu...
coronary artery calcium score of 0, in conjunction with a nondiagnostic EKG and a negativetroponin, had a sensitivity of 96% and a specificity of 60% for MACEs in a year.82Further research is needed to define the role of coronary artery calcium scoring for the patient with emergent chest ...
ContextThe coronary artery calcium score (CACS) has been shown to predict future coronary heart disease (CHD) events. However, the extent to which adding
Objective To assess the burden of asymptomatic coronary atherosclerosis measured by coronary artery calcium score in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis compared with patients with type 2 diabetes and healthy controls. Design, Setting, and Participants Three single-center, cross-sectional studies we...

This artery divides into separate branches, and each branch is responsible for sending blood to different parts of your heart. The branches from your left coronary artery send blood to your heart's front and left side, as well as the outer side and back of your heart. ...
