Calcium Score and Myocardial Spect: Do We Need Anything Else?
Coronary Artery Calcium Score (CAC) is not a perfect tool. But it is simply the best available information for predicting the risk of acute coronary syndromes; CAC has been tested in numerous studies involving tens of thousand patients, which have iteratively shown its superior prognostic value over traditional risk factors, including age [1]. In fact, one could probably say that CAC is the age of your coronary arteries, rather than the age calculated from your date of birth.
