Abstract
Of patients referred for CAC scoring after nonischemic MPI, 17.5% were identified as having CAD based on a CAC score greater than 100, allowing intervention with aggressive medical therapy. Patients who were reclassified were not easily identifiable by traditional risk factors, but Framingham risk score did predict the presence of CAC. Clinicians modified medical therapy based on the results of CAC scoring.
