Coronary Artery Calcium Score (CACS) -- A Comparative Study in Diabetic and Non-Diabetic PatientsGautam, SandhyaRavi, ArunaMittal, ChhayaVerma, SnehlataSingh, GajrajJournal of the Indian Academy of Clinical Medicine
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 coronary artery calcium score refers to the amount/severeity of calcium found within the coronary arteries. A coronary calcium scan is a test that... Learn more about this topic: Coronary Artery Disease Terminology from Chapter 10/ Lesson 11 ...
CAD = coronary artery disease; CCS = coronary calcium score; IRSAD = Index of Relative Social Advantage and Disadvantage; PCE = pooled cohort equation; SBP =systolic blood pressure. Model parameters were obtained from trial data, published reports, and expert consultation, as shown inSupplemental...
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...
However, there is a lack of information about available data regarding the relationship between coronary artery calcium score (CACS) using multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) and statin-intensity class of drugs in asymptomatic healthy individuals.According to the new guidelines of 2013, all ...
The coronary artery calcium score and stress myocardial perfusion imaging provide independent and complementary prediction of cardiac risk. This study sought to examine the relationship between coronary artery calcium score (CACS) and single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) results f... MC Su...
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. ...
