The Challenge in Diagnosis of CORONARY HEART DISEASE • Over 50% of cardiac events occur in ‘intermediate risk’ patients, as classified by NCEP or Framingham risk analysis • 70% of all events occur at mild stenosis (<50%) • Compliance with anti-atherosclerotic therapy is less than 50% at one year
Nearly all adult Americans have 1 risk factor, regardless of CHD JAMA 2003;290:891-7

NCEP ATP-III : Noninvasive Testing “the finding of advanced subclinical atherosclerosis by noninvasive testing can be helpful for confirming the presence of high risk persons... and have utility in selected persons to guide intensity of risk-reduction therapy” We need more imaging guided prevention study
SHAPE Poland Imaging of atherosclerotic plaques in coronary arteries by MSCT was initiated in the John Paul II Hospital October 2000 • 2500 Calcium Scoring studies • 2300 contrast enhancedcoronary angiography studies We performed:

Infarction risk assessment – which subjects should undergo Calcium Scoring? Stage 1 (probability of MI < 0,2): No risk factors C, P, M, SWCS>1, only C, only M, only P, only SWCS>1, C+M Stage 2 (0,2-0,3): C+P, P+M, C+SWCS>1, SWCS>1+M Stage 3 (0,3-0,55): P+SWCS>1, C+SWCS>1+M, C+P+M Stage 4 (0,5-0,8): P+SWCS>1+M, C+P+SWCS>1, C+P+SWCS>1+M Linkage distance C – diabetes mellitus, P – smoking, M – male gender Pasowicz et al. Original study
Recommendations • Each man or smoker – irrespective of gender, or diabetic – irrespective of gender and smoking status, should undergo Calcium Scoring, because its result can modify the probability of myocardial infarction in such a patient. • In smokers, diabetics, patients with atypical chest pain and ambiguous exercise stress test, irrespective of gender and age, angioCT with contrast enhancement should be considered apart from Calcium Scoring.
