Relationship between coronary artery calcium and atherosclerosis progression among patients with suspected coronary artery disease
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 …
