CT attenuation features of individual calcified coronary plaque: differences among asymptomatic, stable angina pectoris, and acute coronary syndrome groups.

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) assessed by non-contrast cardiac CT has been shown to be an independent factor from the Framingham risk factors in predicting cardiovascular events.
