Coronary artery calcium (CAC) score – a prognostic tool in coronary artery disease?
Introduction: The aim of this study was to evaluate the impact of measurement of coronary artery calcification score (CAC) in patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) and a normal myocardial perfusion scan. Methods: In a prospective study we measured the calcium score of 74 patients (29 m, 45 f, mean age 58.7 (m) and 64.4 (f)) with suspicion of CAD and a normal perfusion scan. In ...

متن کاملdiagnostic accuracy of coronary calcium score less than 100 in excluding coronary artery disease
conclusion we conclude that coronary calcium scoring provided useful information in the management of patients. in cacs less than 100, it has a npv of 87% in excluding significant stenosis in patients with the risk of cad but it does not have enough diagnostic accuracy for surely excluding coronary stenosis, so we should perform a combination of cacs and coronary ct angiography for patients. re...
متن کاملCoronary Artery Calcium Score Improves the Prediction of Occult Coronary Artery Stenosis in Ischemic Stroke Patients
BACKGROUND Coronary heart disease is a significant cause of morbidity and mortality in stroke patients. The coronary artery calcium score (CACS) has emerged as a robust and noninvasive predictor of coronary events. We assessed the predictive ability of CACS to identify stroke patients with severe (≥50%) occult coronary artery stenosis in a stroke/transient ischemic attack population, in additio...
متن کاملValue of coronary artery calcium score to predict severity or complexity of coronary artery disease
BACKGROUND Prediction of severity or complexity of coronary artery disease (CAD) is valuable owing to increased risk for cardiovascular events. Although the association between total coronary artery calcium (CAC) score and severity of CAD, Gensini score was not used, it has been previously demonstrated. There is no information about the association between total CAC score and complexity of CAD....
