The Zero Calcium Score Paradox [PDF]

JACC: Case Reports
Our study presents a case of angina with a zero calcium score yet severe coronary stenosis from noncalcified plaque. We highlight the limitation of otherwise prognostically powerful coronary calcium score as a singular predictive tool especially when ...

Coronary artery anomalies in patients with zero calcium score: A new evidence supports the 2016-NICE guidance [PDF]

European Journal of Radiology Open, 2020
Background: Currently, guidelines from around the world endorse measurement of coronary artery calcium (CAC) to improve clinical risk prediction in appropriately selected asymptomatic and stable symptomatic individuals. A CAC score of zero may discourage

Prognostic impact of zero coronary calcium score in stable patients

REC: Interventional Cardiology (English Ed.), 2021
To the Editor, Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is one of the main imaging modalities used to discard coronary artery disease in patients with stable symptoms; thanks to its excellent negative predictive value, it can characterize ...

Thromboembolic NSTEMI from a 9.4 × 7.3 mm mid-left circumflex artery aneurysm with a zero calcium score and non-obstructive coronary arteries [PDF]

European Journal of Case Reports in Internal Medicine
Introduction: Coronary artery aneurysms (CAAs) are uncommon and can cause acute coronary syndromes due to thromboembolism despite the absence of obstructive coronary disease. Case description: We report the case of a 51-year-old patient with hypertension

The zero calcium score paradox and multivessel obstructive disease: a case report of a patient with zero CAC score. [PDF]

Am J Cardiovasc Dis
A coronary artery calcium (CAC) score of 0 is generally indicative of a low risk for both all-cause mortality and cardiovascular events, often serving as a basis for excluding obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Although isolated cases of coronary involvement have been reported in patients with a CAC score of 0, the incidence of extensive ...

Prevalence and predictors of coronary artery disease in patients with a calcium score of zero [PDF]

International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging, 2013
The absence of coronary calcification is associated with an excellent prognosis. However, a calcium score of zero does not exclude the presence of coronary artery disease (CAD) or the possibility of future cardiovascular events. Our aim was to study the prevalence and predictors of coronary artery disease in patients with a calcium score of zero ...

Natural course of coronary artery calcium progression in Asian population with an initial score of zero [PDF]

BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, 2020
Background We aimed to investigate the natural course of coronary artery calcium progression in an Asian population with a baseline coronary artery calcium (CAC) score of zero, and to determine subclinical coronary atherosclerosis.
