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 ...

Zero Calcium Score as a Filter for Further Testing in Patients Admitted to the Coronary Care Unit with Chest Pain [PDF]

Arquivos Brasileiros de Cardiologia, 2017
Background: The accuracy of zero coronary calcium score as a filter in patients with chest pain has been demonstrated at the emergency room and outpatient clinics, populations with low prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD).

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 ...

Inter-scan reproducibility of coronary calcium measurement using Multi Detector-Row Computed Tomography (MDCT) [PDF]

European Radiology, 2007
Purpose: To assess inter-scan reproducibility of coronary calcium measurements obtained from Multi Detector-Row CT (MDCT) images and to evaluate whether this reproducibility is affected by different measurement protocols, slice thickness, cardiovascular

Immune-mediated inflammatory disease and coronary calcium: Elevated baseline risk and attenuated prognostic gradient [PDF]

American Journal of Preventive Cardiology
Background: Immune-mediated inflammatory diseases (IMID) are associated with accelerated atherosclerosis, yet it is unclear whether CT coronary artery calcium scoring (CTCS) captures this excess cardiovascular risk accurately.
