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 …

Purpose To evaluate the prognostic outcome of cardiac computed tomography (CT) for
prediction of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) in low-risk patients suspected of having …

Objective To evaluate the prognostic value and test characteristics of coronary artery
calcium (CAC) score for the identification of obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in …

Background—Multidetector CT coronary angiography (MDCTCA) is capable of detecting
coronary artery disease (CAD) with a high diagnostic accuracy. In particular, this technique …

Aims Coronary artery calcification is a marker of cardiovascular risk, but its association with
qualitatively and quantitatively assessed plaque subtypes is unknown. Methods and results …

Aim Prior evidence observed no predictive utility of coronary CT angiography (CCTA) over
the coronary artery calcium score (CACS) and the Framingham risk score (FRS), among …

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 …

Clinicians often use risk factor-based calculators to estimate an individual's risk of
developing cardiovascular disease. Non-invasive cardiovascular imaging, particularly …

Background and aims Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring is a predictor of future adverse
clinical events, and a surrogate measure of overall coronary artery plaque burden. Coronary …

The purpose of the present study was to assess the impact of clinical presentation and
pretest likelihood on the relation between coronary calcium score (CCS) and computed …
