Vessel Distribution Of Coronary Artery Calcium From Gated CT And Low-dose Ungated CT Imaging Does Not Improve The Prediction Of MACE In Patients Referred For SPECT

Introduction: Vessel distribution of coronary artery calcium (CAC) has been reported to improve prediction of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) over CAC score alone. We aimed to investigate whether the number of vessels with CAC improves the prediction of MACE in patients undergoing single-photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging.
