Cardiac Calcium Scoring by CT

CAC score was assessed by non-contrast cardiac CT. CTA imaging using a 64-slice dual source CT scanner (Siemens Medical Solutions) was performed with a standardized protocol which included assessment of calcified and noncalcified plaque segments as previously described[19 (link), 20 (link)].

About PubCompare

Our mission is to provide scientists with the largest repository of trustworthy protocols and intelligent analytical tools, thereby offering them extensive information to design robust protocols aimed at minimizing the risk of failures.

We believe that the most crucial aspect is to grant scientists access to a wide range of reliable sources and new useful tools that surpass human capabilities.

However, we trust in allowing scientists to determine how to construct their own protocols based on this information, as they are the experts in their field.
