Key result
Agatston coronary calcium scoring reliably stratifies risk for incident and progressive cardiovascular events.
Why the study?
Coronary calcification is an informative marker of atherosclerotic vascular lesions and its role in assessing cardiovascular risk requires synthesis of current data.

Coronary calcium scoring via multispiral computed tomography is a useful tool for assessing cardiovascular risk and atherosclerotic burden.
The review article describes the current data on coronary calcification. It has been shown that coronary calcification can be an informative marker of atherosclerotic vascular lesions since it is visualized using multispiral computed tomography. The possibility of assessing the risk of development and progression of cardiovascular events using the coronary calcium index (Agatston index) has been shown. The optimal method for this index assessment is multispiral computed tomography.

Небиеридзе et al. (2023) conducted a review in Cardiovascular risk. Coronary calcium index (Agatston index) assessment via multispiral computed tomography was evaluated on Risk of development and progression of cardiovascular events. Coronary calcification assessed via multispiral computed tomography (Agatston index) is an informative marker for evaluating the risk of development and progression of cardiovascular events.
