Coronary calcium scoring in a 64-year-old woman with diabetes mellitus and intermittent chest pressure. Selected axial CT image from a coronary calcium score examination shows calcification within the left main coronary artery, left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery, and diagonal branches. The total quantified coronary calcium was severe, yielding an Agatston score of 622, which represents the 95th percentile for patients of the same age, gender, and race/ethnicity who are free of clinical cardiovascular disease and treated diabetes per the MESA coronary calcium calculator (https://www.mesa-nhlbi.org/Calcium/input.aspx).
