A step-by-step, evidence-informed framework for interpreting high coronary calcium CT results, refining cardiovascular risk, ...

Physical activity, long recommended by health experts to reduce risk for obesity, heart disease, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, hypercholesterolemia, and other cardiovascular disease risk ...

Cardiovascular risk assessment in symptomatic patients can rely heavily on insights that calcium scans add to the clinical evaluation, but their added value in ruling out obstructive coronary artery ...

Physical activity may paradoxically hasten the build-up of calcium deposits (plaque) in the coronary arteries, the amount of which is used to assess future cardiovascular disease risk, finds research ...

Having a coronary artery calcium (CAC) score of zero has generally been accepted as a marker of a very low risk of having a cardiac event within the next five years. However, age is a strong ...

A vendor-neutral Agatston score that addresses variability in coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring across CT scanner types improves classification of an individual’s future risk of cardiovascular ...

In a new study of more than 40,000 patients, researchers at Intermountain Health in Salt Lake City have found that patients who have no evidence of calcium in their coronary arteries are not only ...

A zero coronary artery calcium (CAC) score didn't necessarily mean zero obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD) in symptomatic patients, a Danish group found. Among those with a CAC score of zero, 3 ...

Physical activity may paradoxically hasten the build-up of calcium deposits in the coronary arteries, the amount of which—measured as the coronary artery calcium (CAC) score—is traditionally used to ...
