Establishing the warranty of a coronary artery calcium score of zero

Atherosclerosis, 2015
The inherent limitations of traditional risk factor-based cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk assessment [1] have triggered the development and implementation of imaging tests aimed at directly measuring the presence and burden of subclinical atherosclerosis in diverse vascular beds within individual patients.

Soluble Tumor Necrosis Factor Receptor 1 is Associated With Cardiovascular Risk in Persons With Coronary Artery Calcium Score of Zero

Pathogens and Immunity, 2021
Background: A coronary artery calcium (CAC) score of zero confers a low but nonzero risk of atherosclerotic cardiovascular events (CVD) in asymptomatic patient populations, and additional risk stratification is needed to guide preventive interventions ...

Diagnostic accuracy of computed tomography coronary angiography in patients with a zero calcium score [PDF]

European Radiology, 2009
To evaluate the diagnostic accuracy of 64-slice CT coronary angiography (CT-CA) for the detection of significant coronary artery stenosis in patients with zero on the Agatston Calcium Score (CACS). We enrolled 279 consecutive patients (96 male, mean age 48 +/- 12 years) with suspected coronary artery disease.

Short-term effects of renal transplantation on coronary artery calcification: A prospective study

Saudi Journal of Kidney Diseases and Transplantation, 2015
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of mortality in renal transplant recipients. Coronary artery calcification (CAC) has been found to have good correlation with atherosclerosis and cardiovascular morbidity. The objective of our study was to assess

A DIAGNOSTIC CHALLENGE: PREGNANCY, CHEST PAIN, AND ZERO CALCIUM SCORE

Journal of the American College of Cardiology, 2020
Despite a low pre-test probability of coronary artery disease (CAD) in women of childbearing age, Spontaneous Coronary Artery Dissection (SCAD) remains the most common cause of acute coronary syndrome (ACS) in the gravid patient.
