Objectives. This study sought to determine whether noninvasive quantification of coronary
calcium is comparable to selective coronary angiography in measuring the effect of …

OBJECTIVES.: This study attempted to 1) evaluate five quantitative measures of coronary
artery calcium and determine which best agreed with coronary artery disease severity at …

BACKGROUND: Whether the absence of coronary artery calcium, or conversely the
presence of high volumes of coronary artery calcium, may alter assessment of coronary …

Background Coronary artery calcium identified by electron beam computed tomography
(EBCT) has potential for noninvasive localization of coronary atherosclerotic disease …

Objectives: By examining the distribution of coronary artery calcium (CAC) levels across
Framingham risk score (FRS) strata in a large, multiethnic, community-based sample of men …

Background Primary prevention of coronary heart disease is most appropriate for patients at
relatively high risk. Measurement of coronary artery calcium has been proposed as a way to …

Coronary artery calcification assessed by computed tomography is an emerging marker of
coronary atherosclerosis. The authors examined the association of coronary calcium scores …

Electron-beam computed tomography (EBCT) allows for accurate noninvasive detection and
quantification of coronary calcium that is representative of underlying atherosclerotic …

OBJECTIVES The study was done to test the ability to predict the extent of angiographically
determined coronary artery disease (CAD) by quantification of coronary calcium using …

Background—The coronary artery calcium (CAC) score predicts coronary heart disease
(CHD) events, but methods for interpreting the score in combination with conventional CHD …
