A Rosetta Stone for Coronary Calcium Risk Stratification: Agatston, Volume, and Mass Scores in 11,490 Individuals

OBJECTIVE. We introduce stratification data for three methods (Agatston, volume, mass) obtained from one single patient population. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Measurements in 11,490 individuals scanned from 1999 to 2002 with electron-beam CT were used for this study. RESULTS. Our Agatston score ranges agree reasonably well with the Kondos values except for measurements in patients at the extreme ages, at which we sampled a wider age range and...
