Background Non-contrast computed tomography (CT) scanning allows for reliable coronary
calcium score (CCS) calculation at a low radiation dose and has been well established as …

Objectives: In this study, we systematically assessed the diagnostic and prognostic value of
absence of coronary artery calcification (CAC) in asymptomatic and symptomatic individuals …

Background: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is an established predictor of future major
adverse atherosclerotic cardiovascular events in asymptomatic individuals. However, limited …

This work aims to validate the clinical significance of coronary artery calcium score (CACS)
in predicting coronary artery disease (CAD) and cardiac events in 100 symptomatic patients …

Background Coronary artery calcium scoring (CACS) improves management of chest pain
patients. However, it is unknown whether the benefit of CACS is dependent on the clinical …

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 …

Background and aims The influence of gender and age on risk factor prediction of coronary
artery calcification (CAC) in symptomatic patients is unclear. Methods From the European …

Background Coronary calcification has been correlated with the presence and extent of
coronary artery disease (CAD), so in the present study the associations between coronary …

Background We aimed to investigate the natural course of coronary artery calcium
progression in an Asian population with a baseline coronary artery calcium (CAC) score of …

Aims To evaluate the ability of Systematic COronary Risk Estimation 2 (SCORE2) and other
pre-screening methods to identify individuals with high coronary artery calcium score …
