Prevalence and extent of coronary artery disease among patients with a zero calcium score [PDF]

Zanco Journal of Medical Sciences, 2022
Background and objective: Coronary artery calcium is a specific indicator of and an independent risk factor for atherosclerosis. However, calcium scoring may miss non calcified plaques, which were indicated to be of clinical importance.

Agatston-2.0: A next-generation AI-based coronary calcium quantification approach to improve risk stratification among individuals with zero Agatston scores – Part I [PDF]

American Journal of Preventive Cardiology
Background: A coronary artery calcium (CAC) score of zero using the conventional Agatston scoring method (Agatston-1.0) is associated with very low cardiovascular risk (the “Power of Zero”); however, a small proportion of individuals with CAC=0 still ...

Evaluation of Coronary Artery Calcium Progression in Asymptomatic Individuals with an Initial Score of Zero [PDF]

Korean Circulation Journal, 2019
Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring in the asymptomatic population can improve cardiovascular risk prediction. We aimed to assess CAC progression and the impact of coronary risk factors on the CAC progression rate in asymptomatic Korean individuals with a baseline CAC score of zero.The study population was derived from the Korea Initiatives on ...
