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...
Related to coronary artery calcification:coronary artery disease cal·ci·fi·ca·tion (kăl′sə-fĭ-kā′shən) n. 1. a.Impregnation with calcium or calcium salts, as with calcium carbonate. b.Hardening, as of tissue, by such impregnation. ...
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 ...
Coronary artery calcium screening is also recommended on routine nongated, noncontrast chest computed tomography scans using several ordinal and visual scoring systems.Malguria, NaginaZimmerman, StefanFishman, Elliot K.Johns Hopkins Univ Hosp 601 N Caroline St Baltimore MD 21205 USAJournal of computer ...
Related to coronary artery disease:atherosclerosis,myocardial infarction n. Atherosclerosis of the coronary arteries, often leading to angina pectoris or heart attack, and associated with risk factors such as hypertension, smoking, diabetes mellitus, and high levels of LDL cholesterol. Also calledcoronary...
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...
CT Calcium Scoring The presence ofcoronary arterycalcification has long been known to be associated with atherosclerotic plaque. Pathological studies have shown a strong direct correlation (r0.9) between coronary calcification and the area of coronary plaque, and the extent of coronary calcification is ...

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 s...
