Coronary calcium progression rates with a zero initial score by electron beam tomography
International Journal of Cardiology, 2007A review of existing literature shows that for individuals with initial coronary calcium scores (CCS) of zero it would be reasonable to consider follow-up scanning no sooner than 3 years from the initial evaluation, however the data is very limited. In this study, we sought to determine the rate of new calcifications in patients initially presenting ...

The clinical significance of diabetes mellitus (DM) on the cardiovascular disease in the zero coronary artery calcium (CAC) group is not well studied. This study investigated the impact of DM in an asymptomatic population with zero CAC scores. Overall, 9269 adults who received coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) scans for coronary disease ...

Clinical Imaging, 2021 Purpose: A zero coronary calcium score (CCS) is not able to provide a definite exclusion for coronary artery disease (CAD). The goal of this study was to determine the prevalence and associated cardiovascular risk factors of CAD in patients with zero CCS.

Prevalence and Predictors of Atherosclerosis in Symptomatic Patients with Zero Calcium Score
Academic Radiology, 2011Absence of coronary artery calcium (CAC) in symptomatic patients is associated with a very low risk of adverse cardiovascular events. However, patients with zero CAC may have noncalcified plaques (NCP). In this analysis, we sought to determine the prevalence and predictors of NCP in symptomatic patients with zero CAC.Coronary computed tomography ...

Prognostic significance of zero coronary calcium scores on cardiac computed tomography
Journal of Cardiovascular Computed Tomography, 2007Most unexpected cardiovascular events occur in persons at intermediate risk of coronary artery disease (10%-20% 10-year risk). Coronary artery calcium (CAC) has been shown to be highly specific for atherosclerosis, occurring only in the intima of the coronary arteries. Evidence shows that elevated coronary calcium scores (CCSs) are predictive of future

European Heart Journal Cardiovascular Imaging, 2012 AIMS: The clinical implication of a zero coronary calcium score (CCS) in patients with chest pain syndrome has been under debate. This study was undertaken to determine the meaning of a CCS of zero in a large sample of symptomatic patients referred for ...

Absence of left ventricular concentric hypertrophy: a prerequisite for zero coronary calcium score
Heart and Vessels, 2010The identification and intervention of factors associated with a coronary artery calcification (CAC) score of zero, suggesting the absence of significant coronary artery disease (CAD) with high probability, would be meaningful in the clinical setting. Thus far, the relationship between CAC and left ventricular (LV) hypertrophy has not been documented ...

Patients with coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores of zero are generally considered not to have atherosclerosis. Recent studies involving computed tomography coronary angiography (CTCA) challenge this assumption. This goal of the present study is to assess the frequency, morphology, location, and the prognosis of patients with plaque detected on CTCA ...
