BACKGROUND: High-volume physical activity (PA) is associated with a higher prevalence of subclinical coronary artery disease ...

Whether age-related risk factors diminish the low risk predicted by a zero coronary artery calcium score has been uncertain—until now. A large new study of more than 40,000 patients by heart ...

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 ...

The following is a summary of “Visual coronary artery calcification score to predict significant coronary artery stenosis in ...

As plaque (cholesterol deposits) builds up in coronary arteries, calcium is also deposited. A low-dose CT scan can measure the amount of calcium. Ideally, you would have a score of 0, and the higher ...

A new study published in the journal of BMC Cardiovascular Diabetelogy showed that an elevated liver fat fraction (LFF) on ...

However, a new approach to determining risk and selecting a statin is the use of the coronary artery calcium (CAC) score, which is determined by taking a low-radiation dose image of the heart ...
