Coronary artery disease (CAD) is caused by atheromatous blockage of coronary vessels
leading to acute coronary events that usually occur when a plaque ruptures and a thrombus …

Results The CACS is vastly applied in early detection of CAD and in many other research
fields. Conclusions CACS has remarkably changed the screening techniques to detect CAD …

Despite updated guidelines and technological developments that allow for an accurate
diagnosis, many asymptomatic individuals have a high risk of developing CAD or cardiac …

Abstract Purpose of Review To discuss the classic analogy of “coronary artery calcium
(CAC) as a mammogram of the heart”, by evaluating the conceptual strengths, weaknesses …

After over half a century, the Framingham Risk Score (FRS) 1 remains the most common tool
for medical practitioners to use in predicting cardiovascular risk in asymptomatic patients …

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a highly specific feature of coronary atherosclerosis. On
the basis of single-center and multicenter clinical and population-based studies with short …

Background Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scanning has evolved into an important
subclinical prediction method for cardiovascular diseases in asymptomatic subjects …

Background Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is an indicator of atherosclerosis, and the CAC
score is a useful noninvasive assessment of coronary artery disease. Objective To compare …

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) has been advocated as one of the strongest cardiovascular
risk prediction markers. It performs better across a wide range of Framingham risk categories …

Background Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is strongly predictive of all-cause mortality in
intermediate-risk groups, but this relationship is not well defined in very low-risk individuals …
