Prognostic value of coronary artery calcium scores from 1.5 mm slice reconstructions of electrocardiogram-gated computed tomography scans in asymptomatic individuals

HIGHLIGHTS

• who: Suh Young Kim from the Department Yonsei University have published the paper: Prognostic value of coronary artery calcium scores from 1.5 mm slice reconstructions of electrocardiogram-gated computed tomography scans in asymptomatic individuals, in the Journal: Scientific Reports Scientific Reports
• what: The study demonstrated that CAC scores obtained from CT scans reconstructed with a 1.5 mm slice thickness yielded were significantly higher than those obtained from 3 mm scans. The study shows that the presence of CAC in 1.5 mm scans did not improve the prediction of subsequent MACEs in asymptomatic . . .
