Diagnostic utility of coronary artery calcium score percentiles and categories to exclude abnormal scans and relevant ischemia in rubidium positron emission tomography
In patients >50 years, the <25th percentile and CACS 1-9 had good test characteristics to rule out abnormal PET and relevant ischemia (>10%). They could be used to extend the scope of application of CACS 0 by 8%-10% to 32%-34% overall of patients who could be deferred from further testing.
