Coronary Calcium ScoreIntroduction Coronary endothelial function (CEF) is a prognostic marker that worsens with progression of coronary atherosclerosis. In the past, invasive angiography combined with intra-coronary acetylcholine injection or the cold pressor test (CPT) was required to assess CEF. Purpose...
The calcium score may be estimated with a scout scan, and the injection of contrast withheld if it appears that the patient has a prohibitively high calcium score. This allows one to avoid exposing the patient to unnecessary radiation from contrast if it is clear that the patient's calcium sc...

Thus, the ratio of epicardial lumen dilation to flow increase should reflect the relative contribution of plaque burden and risk factors to coronary endothelial dysfunction in a given individual and show an inverse relationship to plaque burden expressed as CT coronary calcium score (CAC).

In 33 individuals, EBT detected CAC with a mean Agatston-derived calcium score of 44 +/- 18. There was a significant difference in regional MBFs between territories with and without CAC at rest and during ADO-stimulated hyperemia (0.69 +/- 0.24 vs. 0.74 +/- 0.23 and 1.82 +/- 0.50 ...
