Coronary artery calcium: A technical argument for a new scoring methodCoronary artery calciumAgatston scoreComputed tomographyRadiation doseCoronary artery calcium (CAC) is a strong predictor for future cardiovascular events. Traditionally CAC has been quantified using the Agatston score, which was ...
Having a coronary artery calcium score of 0, in conjunction with a nondiagnostic EKG and a negative troponin, had a sensitivity of 96% and a specificity of 60% for MACEs in a year.82 Further research is needed to define the role of coronary artery calcium scoring for the patient with ...

Patients with high CAC scores have simply had their coronary artery disease detected by the high amount of coronary calcium. The calcium itself is not the problem. Indeed, it has been suggested that the calcium may represent shrinkage and stabilization of plaques (8). Statins are often recommende...

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring is a noninvasive test that has been reported to detect the presence of subclinical coronary artery disease (CAD) by measuring the location and extent of calcium in the coronary arteries. Purportedly, the presence of (CAC) has been shown to be strongly corr...
Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) scores have become increasingly important in assessing risk for coronary artery disease. Although non-contrast CT scans are typically used for CAC scoring, calculating CAC scores from CTAs directly could add further value to CTAs as a first-line diagnostic. ...
CACS has as its primary goal the early detection of coronary artery disease (CAD). CAD is the most common cause of sudden death in Australian adults. Calcification within the coronary artery wall can be an indicator of the presence of coronary artery disease. CACS can detect calcium in many ...
Question What is the prevalence of coronary artery calcium (CAC) in adults aged 30 to 49 years with clinical indications for CAC scoring, and is CAC associated with long-term, cause-specific mortality in these young adults? Findings In this cohort study of 22 346 individuals from the CAC ...
