Usefulness of routine aortic valve calcium score measurement for risk stratification of aortic stenosis and coronary artery disease in patients scheduled cardiac multislice computed tomography

Objectives: This study sought to investigate the clinical utility of aortic valve calcium score (AVCS) determined by using cardiac multislice computed tomography (MSCT). Methods: Data of 1315 consecutive patients who underwent both conventional echocardiography and MSCT were reviewed. Degree of aort...
