Background: Contrast computerized tomography (CT) scan is occasionally aborted due to a high coronary artery calcium score (CACS). For the same CACS in our clinical practice, we observed a higher occurrence of severe coronary artery disease (CAD) in ...

Background: The Agatston score on noncontrast computed tomography (CT) scans is the gold standard for calcium load determination. However, contrast-enhanced CT is commonly used for patients with atherosclerotic cardiovascular diseases (ASCVDs), such as ...

Coronary calcification in prediction of short and mid-term results of coronary intervention [PDF]
Background: After percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI), excessive coronary calcification might cause negative outcomes. We assessed how the coronary calcium score (CCS), determined by multi-detector computed tomography (MDCT), affected the short and ...

Prospective Study on Clinical Outcome of Coronary CT Angiography in Patients with Suspected Coronary Artery Disease: Three-year Follow-up Study [PDF]
Introduction: Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) is one of the leading causes of morbidity and mortality in India. Coronary Computed Tomography Angiogram (CTA) is a non-invasive imaging modality for evaluation of CAD and has high accuracy in ruling out ...

Aim. Coronary artery calcification is a characteristic of coronary atherosclerosis, which is often detected by chest computed tomography (CT). The aim of this study is to assess the efficiency of low-dose chest CT in calcium score (CS) determining and to

Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring
Numerous clinical studies have shown that coronary artery calcium scoring provides substantial incremental risk prediction beyond conventional coronary risk factors for coronary heart disease events. About half of all patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) present initially with unexpected myocardial infarction or sudden death.

Calcium Scoring and Cardiac Computed Tomography [PDF]
Although recent advances in noninvasive imaging technologies have potentially improved diagnostic efficiency and clinical outcomes of patients with acute chest pain, controversy remains regarding much of the accumulated evidence. This article reviews the role of coronary computed tomography (CT) angiography in the assessment of coronary risk, and its ...
