CORONARY CALCIFICATION SCORE AND STENOSIS ON 256-SLICE MSCT IMAGING
Main Article Content
Abstract
Objects: Study the relation of calcification score and coronary stenosis on 256-slice CT. Materials and Methods: cross-sectional-decritive study in 150 patients diagnosed of coronary diseases had coronary artery angiogram on 256-slice CT at Vietduc friendship hospital from 1/7 to30/7/2020. Results: : including 75 male and 75 female, mean ages was 65.1±11.92. There was 86/150(57.3%) cases having coronary calcification with mean calcification score of 351.2±529.47 (from 1 to 2652). Mean score of <60 aged group was 46.5±144.35 and 274.2±504.28 in 60 and over aged group (p=0.003). Mean calcification score of 50% and over stenosis was 691.9±674.61 and under 50% stenosis was 117.4±173.58 (p<0.001). The ROC showed the correlation of calcification score and ≥50% stenosis had AUC of 0.829 (95%CI: 0.740 -0.919) with p<0.001. The cut-off calcification score was 196 with Sensitivity=0.706 and 1-Specificity=0.173. Conclusion: Coronary calcification score had correlation with stenosis then be possible to predict the coronary events in the future.
