Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scanning is a reliable, noninvasive technique for estimating
overall coronary plaque burden and for identifying risk for future cardiac events. Arthur …

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 …

Surveys and registries are needed to verify that real-life daily practice is in keeping with what
is recommended in the guidelines, thus completing the loop between clinical research …

Redusert venstre ventrikkelfunksjon er en selvstendig og sterkt ugunstig prognostisk faktor.
Vurdering av venstre ventrikkelfunksjon med for eksempel ekkokardiografi anbefales utført …

Background: Coronary artery calcium score (CACS) is an anatomic measure of calcified
atherosclerosis. Myocardial perfusion defects and reduced myocardial blood flow reserve …

Since our last review of the prognostic accuracy of stress myocardial perfusion SPECT, 1
numerous advances in the field have promulgated tremendous (and oft characterized as …

Purpose To assess the capability of a zero coronary artery calcium (CAC) score to help
exclude flow-limiting coronary artery disease (CAD) in a homogeneous population with …

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is nearly pathognomonic for the presence of coronary
atherosclerosis, although not all coronary plaque is calcified. 1, 2 As such, cardiac CT scans …

Objectives A systematic review and meta-analysis to assess sensitivity and specificity of
coronary CT angiography (CCTA) for significant stenosis at different degrees of coronary …

Background Non-contrast computed tomography (CT) scanning allows for reliable coronary
