Table 3.

Degree of coronary artery calcification by absolute CAC scores and CAC scores adjusted for gender, age and ethnicity, with clinical interpretations

Degree of coronary	Absolute CAC score	CAC score adjusted for gender,
artery calcification	(Agatston method)	age and ethnicity - percentile	Clinical interpretation
Absent	0	0	Very low risk of future coronary events
Discrete	1-100	≤ 75	Low risk of future coronary events; low probability of myocardial ischemia
Moderate	101-400	76-90	Increased risk of future coronary events (aggravating factor); consider reclas-
			sifying the individual as high risk
Accentuated	> 400	> 90	Increased probability of myocardial ischemia
