Coronary calcium score reflects the total amount of calcium within the walls of the coronary arteries, taken together to provide a single number. It’s based on density and area. Coronary calcium score tells you nothing about arterial narrowing. One can have a high calcium score without any nar...

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...
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 (...
The coronary artery calcium score enhances clinical risk stratification for patients at risk for atherosclerotic coronary disease.Image: Adobe Stock The Agatston algorithm — a semi-automated tool developed byArthur Agatston, MD, in 1990 to quantify arterial calcium — is used to compute a nu...
The base-case population derived from the 1,083 patients who provided writteninformed consentto participate in the CAUGHT-CAD trial (Coronary Artery calcium score: Use to Guide Management of HerediTary CAD; ACTRN 12614001294640, https://www.anzctr.org.au/), which has been approved by the Human...
We evaluated baseline coronary artery calcium (CAC) score as a predictor of the ACEI use effect on outcomes among normal EF participants. Methodology: 4,208 who never used ACEI or were using ACEI (n=368, 8.7%) during all baseline and follow up examinations out of 6,814 the Multi Ethnic ...
