High calcium score in an 83-year-old patient with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome and nonobstructive coronary artery disease: a case report

open access: yesРоссийский кардиологический журнал, 2022
Currently, multi-slice computed tomography (MSCT) coronary angiography is a leader in the diagnosis of coronary artery disease in patients with non-ST elevation acute coronary syndrome of low or moderate risk.

The Added Value of a High CT Coronary Artery Calcium Score in the Management of Patients Presenting with Acute Chest Pain vs. Stable Chest Pain

open access: yesJournal of Cardiovascular Development and Disease, 2022
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 ...

Validation of a Length-Adjusted Abdominal Arterial Calcium Score Method for Contrast-Enhanced CT Scans

open access: yesDiagnostics, 2023
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]

open access: yesAl-Azhar International Medical Journal, 2023
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]

open access: yesInternational Journal of Anatomy Radiology and Surgery, 2020
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 ...

Predictors of Coronary Artery Calcium and Long‐Term Risks of Death, Myocardial Infarction, and Stroke in Young Adults

open access: yesJournal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2021
Background Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is well‐validated for cardiovascular disease risk stratification in middle to older–aged adults; however, the 2019 American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association guidelines state that more data are ...

The diagnostic value of low-dose chest computed tomography for calcium score determining compared with the standard method and the results of computed tomography and selective coronary angiography

open access: yesРоссийский кардиологический журнал, 2019
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

open access: yesReviews in Cardiovascular Medicine, 2011
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]

open access: yesHeart Failure Clinics, 2016
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 ...
