BACKGROUND Coronary calcification detected by electron beam tomography may improve cardiovascular risk prediction. The technique is particularly promising in the elderly because the predictive power of cardiovascular risk factors weakens with age. We investigated the prognostic value of coronary calcification for cardiovascular events and mortality in a general, asymptomatic population of elder...
This work aims to validate the clinical significance of coronary artery calcium score (CACS) in predicting coronary artery disease (CAD) and cardiac events in 100 symptomatic patients (aged 37-87 years, mean 62.5, 81 males) that were followed up for a mean of 5 years. Our results showed that patients with CAD and cardiac events had significantly higher CACS than those without CAD and cardiac ev...
INTRODUCTION Increased cardiovascular morbidity leads to search for new, non-invasive diagnostic methods for early detection of atherosclerosis. Among others computed tomography has become a matter of interest. The usefulness of quantitative analysis of calcification using multislice spiral computed tomography (MSCT) in cardiology has been studied recently. AIM To evaluate the usefulness of c...
Objectives To develop prediction models that better estimate the pretest probability of coronary artery disease in low prevalence populations. Design Retrospective pooled analysis of individual patient data. Setting 18 hospitals in Europe and the United States. ParticipantsPatients with stable chest pain without evidence for previous coronary artery disease, if they were referred for computed t...

BACKGROUND To examine the association between the American Heart Association's 7 metrics of ideal cardiovascular health (ICH) and the presence of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis as assessed by coronary artery calcification (CAC) using electron-beam computed tomography. METHODS AND RESULTS This study is a cross-sectional analysis of data obtained on 3121 male and female patients evaluated...
In clinical cardiology, risk assessment has been focused on patients with suspected or known coronary artery disease. The available non-invasive imaging techniques have allowed differentiation between highand low-risk patient groups. These imaging techniques mainly included nuclear imaging using SPECT and stress echocardiography. Nuclear imaging with SPECT is based on the detection of resting o...
