Table 1. The first Rumberger guideline based on Agatston score using Electron Beam Computed Tomography (EBCT) ( 47 ) .
Calcium Score | Plaque Burden | Clinical Interpretation |
---|---|---|
0 | None | Very low risk of cardiovascular disease |
Likelihood of coronary artery disease presence <5% | ||
Negative examination | ||
1-10 | Minimal | Significant coronary artery disease very unlikely |
11-100 | Mild | Likely mild or minimal coronary stenosis |
101-400 | Moderate | Moderate non-obstructive coronary artery disease highly likely |
Over 400 | Extensive | High likelihood of at least one significant coronary stenosis (> 50% diameter) |
