The relationship between coronary artery calcification and myocardial perfusion in asymptomatic women
BACKGROUND AND OBJECTIVES: No data are available in Saudi Arabia on the relationship between coronary artery calcification (CAC) and myocardial perfusion scintigraphy (MPS) in asymptomatic women, for determining subclinical coronary artery disease (CAD). The main objective of this study was to inves...
