Background The risk assessment of patients with stable chest pain (SCP) to defer further
cardiovascular testing is crucial, but the most appropriate risk assessment strategy remains …

Objective We evaluated coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring as an initial diagnostic tool in
outpatients and in patients presenting at the emergency department due to suspected …

There is little evidence on whether gender difference influences the incidence of subclinical
coronary atherosclerosis in Asian populations with a 0 score. In this study, we investigated …

In 2022, multiple original research studies were conducted highlighting the utility of coronary
