The Power Of Zero Coronary Calcium


Cost effectiveness and clinical efficacy in using the prognostic  power of Zero CT coronary calcium as a filter for further myocardial perfusion imaging  in chest pain patients

We have been in data collection since November 2018 scanning 127 patients with a total of 33 patients with a Agatston Coronary Calcium Score of Zero (26% of patients scanned had a CT coronary Calcium score of zero). We have done phone call follow up at 6 months with no cardiac events in the calcium score zero patients. We have done cost analyst documenting the cost savings of not doing a stress myocardial perfusion study in calcium score zero patients. We are excited about publishing our results.
