Khurram Nasir Claudio Smuclovisky, MD Dr. John A Rumberger, PhD, MD, FACC, MSCCT Heart_SCCT Matthew Budoff MD Michael J. Blaha Ron Blankstein Leslee Shaw Marcio S Bittencourt I love CAC. I love CTA more in symptomatic patients. Most CTA studies incl. both CAC = good (and better than most tests). CTA = better #yesCCT Better by how much, depends on pre-test probability in sx patients. CAC without non-calcified plaque (stability) probably low events
