Calcium score in the Prediction of Adverse Events in Patients with Suspected Coronary Artery Disease

Abstract: Fundamento: A Doença Arterial Coronariana (DAC) representa importante causa de morbimortalidade no mundo, e os modelos de predição de eventos baseados em fatores de risco possuem capacidade limitada. Dentre os novos marcadores disponíveis na prática clínica, o Escore de Cálcio (EC) caracteriza-se como ferramenta potencial para predição de eventos adversos, podendo agregar valor aos modelos preexistentes. Objetivo: Determinar o valor do EC na predição de desfechos clínicos adversos em pacientes com suspeita de … Show more

“…Coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) is an important method in the evaluation of the coronary arteries with high accuracy in the diagnosis and prognosis of coronary heart disease. Although coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring has an established role in risk-stratifying asymptomatic patients at intermediate risk of CAD, its utility in the evaluation of this specifically group is uncertain [4][5][6][7][8][9]. The purpose of this study is to assess the potential of CAC in the prediction of cardiac adverse events in patients with suspected CAD with mild-moderate perfusion by MPI.…”
