Coronary artery calcium score: Re-evaluation of its predictive value for coronary artery disease

Figure 1 Coronary computed tomography angiography in a 43-year-old male presenting with chest pain and raised cardiac enzymes shows non-calcified plaque at the left main and left anterior descending arteries (arrows) causing a complete total occlusion of these vessels.

Figure 2 Calcified plaques and stenosis of left anterior descending. A: Extensive calcified plaques are noticed in the proximal and middle segments of left anterior descending (LAD) on curved planar reformatted image, resulting in significant stenosis or total lumen occlusion; B: A 50% stenosis of LAD is confirmed on invasive coronary angiography (arrows).
