diagnostic efficacy of vessel specific coronary calcium score in detection of coronary artery stenosis
objectives to evaluate predictive value of vessel specific coronary artery calcium (cac) score in predicting obstructive coronary artery disease. patients and methods in this diagnostic test study we evaluated patients with coronary computed tomography angiography (ccta) and cac score which had been referred to two referral radiology center in tehran, iran and finally we selected 2525 patients ...
متن کاملDiagnostic Efficacy of Vessel Specific Coronary Calcium Score in Detection of Coronary Artery Stenosis
BACKGROUND Coronary artery calcification which is determined quantitatively by coronary calcium scoring has been known as a sign of coronary stenosis and thus future cardiac events; hence it has been noticed on spotlight of researchers in recent years. Developing different method for early and optimal detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) is really essential as CAD are the first cause of d...
متن کاملDiagnostic efficacy of coronary calcium score in the assessment of significant coronary artery stenosis.
BACKGROUND Coronary artery calcium score (CCS) is a quantitative assessment of calcifications detectable by multidetector computed tomography (MDCT). AIM To evaluate diagnostic accuracy of CCS to detect significant stenosis in coronary arteries in symptomatic patients. METHODS The study population included consecutive symptomatic patients with suspected coronary artery disease (CAD) who wer...
متن کاملCoronary 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...
