High Calcium Level in Arteries May Signal Serious Heart Attack Risk
Date:7/28/2009

ronary calcium levels in patients with coronary artery disease (CAD) may indicate risk of serious heart attack.
 
  • CAD is the most common type of heart disease, and the leading cause of death in the U.S.

 
  • Combining calcium scoring with single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) can help to identify patients with CAD who are at highest risk.

"Stable Coronary Artery Disease: Prognostic Value of Myocardial Perfusion SPECT in Relation to Coronary Calcium Scoring --Long Term Follow-up." Collaborating with Drs. Hacker and Uebleis were Alexander Becker, M.D., Ines Griesshammer, Paul Cumming, Ph.D., Christoph Becker, M.D., Michael Schmidt, M.D. and Peter Bartenstein, M.D.
