Visual coronary artery calcification score to predict significant coronary artery stenosis in patients presenting with cardiac arrest without ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction
The present study found that a non-dedicated CT thorax may be useful to measure VCAC and if this is scored ≥ 4 it allows physicians to better select patients resuscitated from cardiac arrest with non-STEMI and without history of coronary artery disease who may benefit from an emergency coronary angiogram to detect a significant or culprit coronary artery stenosis and had PCI if appropriate.
