Objectives To estimate the prevalence of non-calcified coronary artery disease (CAD) in patients with suspected stable angina and a zero coronary artery calcification (CAC) score, and to assess the prognostic significance of a zero CAC in these symptomatic patients. Methods In this prospective cohort study, consecutive patients with stable chest pain underwent CAC scoring ± CT coronary…
