Very high coronary calcium score unmasks obstructive coronary artery disease in patients with normal SPECT MPI

ObjectivesTo study the clinical impact of a very high coronary artery calcium score (CAC >1000) in patients with no known coronary artery disease (CAD) and normal single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) myocardial perfusion imaging (MPI). The secondary aim was to evaluate whether tripl...
