BACKGROUND: Coronary artery calcium scoring (CAC) has garnered attention in the
diagnostic approach to chest pain patients. However, little is known about the interplay …

Background Among symptomatic patients, it remains unclear whether a coronary artery
calcium (CAC) score alone is sufficient or misses a sizeable burden and progressive risk …

We aimed to investigate the prevalence and severity of noncalcified coronary plaques (NCP)
using coronary CT angiography (CCTA) and analyze predictors of significant coronary …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to describe the prevalence and severity of
coronary artery disease (CAD) in relation to prognosis in symptomatic patients without …

BACKGROUND: Although numerous trials have demonstrated the diagnostic accuracy of
coronary artery calcium (CAC) scanning for prediction of obstructive disease, virtually all …

Importance The diagnostic value is unclear of a 0 coronary artery calcium (CAC) score to
rule out obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) and near-term clinical events across …

Aims The prognostic value of coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring is well established and
has been suggested for use to exclude significant coronary artery disease (CAD) for …

The coronary artery calcium (CAC) score is a marker of advanced coronary atherosclerosis.
Numerous prospective cohorts have validated CAC as an independent marker that improves …

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 Background and aims The Agatston coronary artery calcium score (CACS) may fail
to identify small or less dense coronary calcification that can be detected on coronary CT …
