Coronary Calcification and Coronary Artery Disease
Gottlieb et al. ([1][1]) report computed tomography (CT) calcium scores in 291 patients (73% male) being referred for coronary angiography. The majority (95%) had either intermediate or high pre-test probability of coronary disease, and 42 (19.6%) had presented as emergencies with unstable angina.

Coronary artery disease in women
Cardiovascular diseases, including coronary artery disease (CAD), are the leading cause of death among women and men. Mortality among women is higher than in men. Women more often report atypical anginal symptoms. Non-invasive diagnostic testing of CAD is less sensitive and characteristic in women than in men. Coronary angiography and rewascularization

Risk Model Development and Validation for Prediction of Coronary Artery Aneurysms in Kawasaki Disease in a North American Population. [PDF]
Background Accurate prediction of coronary artery aneurysms ( CAAs ) in patients with Kawasaki disease remains challenging in North American cohorts. We sought to develop and validate a risk model for CAA prediction.
