I don’t know what that means. Since a score of 426 means “severe cardiac artery disease” (where I was)……does a “normal” nuclear stress test mean I don’t have “severe cardiac artery disease”. Just feel like I have no idea where that leaves me. Axel F Sigurdsson November 25...

Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring Coronary artery diseaseis a leading cause of death worldwide. Noncontrast-enhancedCTis a noninvasive screening tool that can measure the amount of calcium in coronary arteries as a predictor of future cardiovascular events. The lack ofcoronary artery calcificationshas a...
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 ...
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 ...

pressure Why the CACS Test is not for everyone The CACS cardiac risk assessment is not appropriate for everyone. Because this is a screening test for CAD, people with proven coronary artery disease, coronary artery bypass, angioplasty and positive his- tory should not have this test. What is ...
Summary adjusted ORs compare the risk of a coronary heart disease (CHD) event in persons with different coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores with the risk in a person without calcification. P values refer to a test for interaction between subgroups or to a test of linear association (for "...
