Coronary Artery Calcium and All-Cause Mortality - Yahoo! News

news.yahoo.com — “From Yahoo! News: Coronary artery calcium scoring is a relatively inexpensive test consisting of a CT scan of the heart. The CT measures the density of tissues within the heart and coronary arteries, making it possible to calculate the calcium burden in the region. The test is relatively easy to perform, inexpensive, and has a low radiation exposure (1 mSv and less). However, the clinical usefulness of the test has not been fully explored.View full resource at news.yahoo.com
