| Abstract: | Current guidelines and literature on screening for coronary artery calcium for cardiac risk assessment are reviewed for both general and special populations. It is shown that for both general and special populations a zero score excludes most clinically relevant coronary artery disease. The importance of standardization of coronary artery calcium measurements by multidetector CT is discussed. This consensus article is being published concurrently in the Springer Journal International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging. |
