Coronary artery calcification (CAC) is highly prevalent in patients with coronary heart
disease (CHD) and is associated with major adverse cardiovascular events. There are two …

Background There is little consensus on whether absence of coronary artery calcium (CAC)
can identify patients with chest pain (CP) who can safely avoid additional downstream …

Importance The diagnostic value is unclear of a 0 coronary artery calcium (CAC) score to
rule out obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) and near-term clinical events across …

Aims CT calcium scoring (CTCS) and CT cardiac angiography (CTCA) are widely used in
patients with stable chest pain to exclude significant coronary artery disease (CAD). We …

Objectives This study aimed to compare the current 5 investigation strategies to defer
cardiac testing in patients with stable chest pain. Background For the clinical management of …

Background Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scanning has evolved into an important
subclinical prediction method for cardiovascular diseases in asymptomatic subjects …

Objective Non-obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) is a frequent clinical condition and
is associated with an increase in cardiovascular events. However, appropriate medical …

Coronary artery disease continues to be the leading cause of death globally. Identifying
patients who are at risk of coronary artery disease remains a public health priority. At …

Aims In this retrospective study we assessed the predictive value of the coronary calcium
score for significant (> 50%) stenosis relative to conventional risk factors. Methods and …

Objectives To estimate the prevalence of non-calcified coronary artery disease (CAD) in
patients with suspected stable angina and a zero coronary artery calcification (CAC) score …
