ACR Appropriateness Criteria<sup>®</sup> Chronic Chest Pain—High Probability of Coronary Artery Disease
2017, Journal of the American College of RadiologyCitation Excerpt :In addition, general reliance on MRI in assessing chronic chest pain is hindered by the limited availability of advanced facilities and experienced personnel. MDCT as well as electron-beam CT (less commonly used) are used for detecting the presence and severity of calcification, a sign of coronary atherosclerosis [59-69]. In a large study of 10,377 patients, Shaw et al [70] showed that CCS provides independent incremental information in the prediction of all-cause mortality.

2005, Kidney InternationalCitation Excerpt :Of greater concern is the development of silent myocardial infarction in diabetic subjects. Coronary artery calcium deposition is an integral part of the atherosclerotic plaque, and calcium scores obtained by electron beam computed tomography (EBCT) correlate with histologic, intravascular ultrasound, and angiographic measurements of CAD[30], [31]. Moreover, the coronary artery calcium score is an independent predictor of subsequent cardiac events in both symptomatic and asymptomatic individuals.
Dyslipidemia and progression of cardiovascular calcification (CVC) in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD)
2005, Kidney International, SupplementCitation Excerpt :As a result, studies have shown that more than 90% of atherosclerotic plaques in the older general population are calcified16. In the general population, coronary artery calcium scores as measured by EBCT have generally been used as an index of the atherosclerotic burden16-18. As such, calcium scores correlate with histologic, intravascular ultrasound, and angiographic measurements of CAD19-21.

2004, Journal of the American College of CardiologyCitation Excerpt :First, we performed EBCT as the measure of atherosclerosis burden in the Dallas Heart Study. Given that age is so closely associated with coronary calcification (31–34), this relationship may have “dominated” a more subtle association between MCP-1 and CAC in multivariable models. Association studies with MCP-1 should be performed using other measures of subclinical atherosclerosis that may be less dependent on age, such as carotid intima-media thickness, magnetic resonance imaging of the vascular wall, and novel plaque imaging modalities.
