Factors Affecting The Change in Agatson Score in Follow Up Multislice Coronary Ct Angiograms

Background: Coronary calcium shows the atherosclerosis burden in coronary arteries and is associated with adverse cardiac events. Agatston score most widely used scoring sys-tem to quantify artery calcium. In this study, we aimed establish factors change time. Materials Methods: Patients who underwent multiple computerized tomo-graphic angiographies had measurements were included study. The of was compared among cardiovascular risk groups. Linear regres-sion model formed detect independent variables affecting score.Results: A total 126 patients 63 zero baseline score. hypertension, diabetes or previous disease history significantly higher changes than those without. Age increased increase over time whereas decreased risk.Conclusions: are for Baseline decreases subsequent
