High prevalence of coronary artery calcification in Saudi patients with normal myocardial perfusion

High prevalence of coronary artery calcification in Saudi patients with normal myocardial perfusion

BACKGROUND: Normal single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI) has a high negative predictive value for ischemic heart disease. Thus, the presence of subclinical coronary atherosclerosis detected by coronary artery calcification (CAC) score in patients who h...
