The Relationship Between Fluoroscopically Detected Coronary Artery Calcification and Coronary Artery Disease

In one research the predictive accuracy of CAC in asymptomatic male patients was very high (100% for CAD and 92% for clinically significant CAD) Fluroscopically calcification finding confirmed the presence of already existing significant stenosis on the coronary artery or a high risk for hemodynamic disorder in another study. (Table 4) Fluorocopically detected CAC was found to have a correlation with many findings of CAD so maybe in the future that will be more common in screening asymptomatic patients in outpatient clinics.Conclusions Our study showed that fluoroscopically detected CAC was easy and confidential method to screen many patients.
