My current cardiologist appears to be relying heavily on the Carotid IMT results. He suggests that those results effectively forecast a deterioration in my coronary calcium — His words were along the lines of ‘There is now a sludge, rather than hard calcium in my heart, but soon (as in t...
Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring: Is It Time for a Change in Methodology? JACC Cardiovasc Imaging. 2017;10(8):923–37. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jcmg.2017.05.007. Article PubMed Google Scholar Wong ND, Kawakubo M, LaBree L, Azen SP, Xiang M, Detrano R. Relation of coronary calcium...
Generating a coronary artery calcium (CAC) score requires a quick CT scan, with no intravenous (IV) access or IV contrast required. Results are available within minutes. The CT scan reliably detects arterial calcification, and the amount of calcium present correlates with the risk for sig...

The value of coronary artery calcium in the elderly population The assessment of coronary calcification may have particular value in the elderly population. The potential for prevention of CHD in older adults is large, since even a small reduction in risk factor levels results in a considerable red...
Sensitivity analysis excluding angina from the CHD end point in MESA demonstrated consistent results (eTable 12 in Supplement 1). Discussion To our knowledge, this is the first study to perform a head-to-head comparison of the coronary artery calcium and polygenic risk scores for predicting risk...
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 ...
Although the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) is often recommended for this, it has been suggested that risk assessment may be improved by additional tests such as coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS). Objectives: To determine whether CACS assessment combined with FRS in asymptomatic adults provides ...
