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 (...
Using an ultrafast CT scan technique, Agatston defined a method to calculate coronary artery calcium score (CAC score). Initially, the CAC score was called the Agatston score, The coronary arteries supply oxygen-rich blood to the muscle of the left ventricle of the heart. The amount of calcium...

This study involving 2 large, community-based, longitudinal, cohort studies whether adding 2 markers—coronary artery calcium score and polygenic risk
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...
