Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring

Reviews 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.

Coronary Artery Calcium Score: A Review [PDF]

Iranian Red Crescent Medical Journal, 2013
Coronary artery disease (CAD) is the foremost cause of death in many countries and hence, its early diagnosis is usually concerned as a major healthcare priority. Coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) using either electron beam computed tomography (EBCT) or multislice computed tomography (MSCT) has been applied for more than 20 years to provide an ...

Assessment of coronary artery calcium scoring

Turk Kardiyoloji Dernegi Arsivi-Archives of the Turkish Society of Cardiology, 2012
Calcium accumulation in the coronary arteries is a known indicator of atherosclerosis. The purpose of this study was to demonstrate the effect of patients' demographic characteristics on calcium scoring and the topographic accumulation of calcium in the coronary arteries.Two-hundred ninety-nine patients were included in the study (192 male, 107 female;
