DOI: 10.1007/s12350-020-02326-7
Abstract: The early detection of coronary artery disease (CAD) is key for effective therapy decision-making to lower morbidity and mortality. Thus, the cardiovascular community made huge efforts to find optimal ‘‘gatekeeper’’ methods. A promising tool is… read more here.

DOI: 10.1016/j.ijcard.2017.01.132
Abstract: BACKGROUND Coronary artery calcium score (CACS) is a well-established test for risk stratifying asymptomatic patients for overall cardiovascular or coronary events. However; the prognostic value for incident stroke remains controversial. The objective of this study… read more here.
