The role of coronary artery calcium scoring in the prediction of coronary artery disease based on non-contrast non-cardiac chest CT scans in airline pilots by Lin Zhang, Li Li Liu, Zheng Bin Zhu, Yan Xu, Kai Chen, Qing Qing Duan, Yu Kai Li, Jie Gao, Meng Song, Qiu Yu Shen, Shao Jie Zhu, Qing Qing Jin, Jian Ping Wen, Shuo Feng, Ying Lu, Run Du, Bin Ren, Rui Yan Zhang

“…Plaque volumetric measurements showed that total plaque volume (1,103.50 ± 285.51 mm3 vs. 913.18 ± 277.45 mm3; p < 0.001) and calcified plaque volume (149.77 ± 160.71 mm3 vs. 36.42 ± 26.86 mm3; p < 0.001) were more pronounced in individuals in the significant CAD group than those in the non-significant CAD group. A multivariate analysis demonstrated that CACS (odds ratio 1.01; 95% confidence interval 1.005–1.014; p < 0.001) was the only independent risk factor of significant CAD but traditional cardiovascular risk factors, pre-existing medication regimens, or prolonged flight duration were not. …”
