Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine whether noncoronary measures from
cardiac computed tomography (CT) may enhance the prognostic value of this imaging …

Non-contrast cardiac computed tomography in order to obtain the coronary artery calcium
score has become an established diagnostic procedure in the clinical setting, and is …

Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is a well-known marker for coronary artery disease and
has important prognostic implications. CAC is able to provide clinicians with a reliable …

Objectives: This study compared the ability of coronary artery calcium (CAC) and thoracic
aortic calcium (TAC) to predict coronary heart disease (CHD) and cardiovascular disease …

Objectives: The aim of this study was to determine the correlation between coronary artery
calcium (CAC) scores on 3 mm electrocardiography (ECG)-gated computed tomography …

Abstract Objectives Coronary artery calcifications (CACs) indicate the presence of coronary
artery disease. CAC can be found on thoracic computed tomography (CT) conducted for non …

At present, traditional risk factors are used to guide cardiovascular management of
asymptomatic subjects. Intensified surveillance may be warranted in those identified as high …

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) and thoracic aorta calcium (TAC) can be
detected simultaneously on low-dose, non-gated computed tomography (CT) scans. CAC …

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a marker of overall coronary atherosclerotic burden in an
individual. As such, it is an important tool in cardiovascular risk stratification and preventive …

Background To test the hypothesis that a semi-quantitative echocardiographic calcium score
(eCS) significantly correlates with cardiac calcium measured by coronary computed …
