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 …

Background: Prediction of severity or complexity of coronary artery disease (CAD) is
valuable owing to increased risk for cardiovascular events. Although the association …

Background COPD is associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD), and coronary artery
calcification (CAC) provides additional prognostic information. With increasing use of …

Background and Objectives Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring in the asymptomatic
population can improve cardiovascular risk prediction. We aimed to assess CAC …

Purpose The coronary calcium score (CCS) predicts significant coronary artery disease
(CAD) in the general population. While moderate chronic kidney disease (CKD) is …

Background Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is an independent and incremental risk
marker. This marker has previously not been compared to the HeartScore risk model …

We determined the efficiency of a screening protocol based on coronary calcium scores
(CCS) compared with exercise testing in patients with suspected coronary artery disease …

Objectives The aim of this study was to examine the long-term prognosis in asymptomatic
individuals with a coronary artery calcium (CAC) score of 0 and its associated warranty …

Objective Minimal data are available regarding the long-term mortality risk of subclinical
atherosclerosis using coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring among patients with a family …

Objective Coronary artery disease (CAD) risk stratification plays a fundamental role in the
early detection and optimal management of CAD. The aim of our study is to investigate the …
