He references the study of Kim and colleagues...
CT scan calcium scoring is highly accurate in detecting small amounts of calcium in the plaque of coronary arteries. Ultrafast CT scanning is useful in evaluating chest pain in younger patients (men under 40 and women under 50 years old). Since young people do not normally have significant cor...

(1). Ca++ = calcium; H/E = hematoxylin-eosin stain; Thr = thrombus. Bone formation (12) comprising trabecula with marrow space is rarely seen in CAD within calcific regions (Figure 1J). When observed, it is usually seen in heavily calcified segments of the arterial wall suggesting that ...
What Type of Testing is There? There are lots of tests available and include: EKG, echocardiography, exercise treadmill stress test (with/without echo imaging), pharmacologic stress test w nuclear imaging, cardiac MRI, coronary CT scan/coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS), and cardiac...
