Abstract:
Imaging subclinical atherosclerosis identifies individuals at higher risk of cardiovascular disease through direct visualization before events occur so that preventative measures can be taken. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scans are the most widely used and studied to identify subclinical atherosclerosis and are most useful in men older than 40 years and women older than 50 years. Coronary computed tomography angiography has high prognostic value and might be the best modality for assessing subclinical atherosclerosis with incremental increase in predictive value over CAC. Ankle-brachial indexes are specific markers for cardiovascular risk but are a less sensitive tool for risk assessment.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...

Definition and Purpose
An X-ray, or radiograph, is a non-invasive method that uses ionizing radiation to take images of internal structures. It is mainly used in cardiac imaging to examine the heart, lungs, and major blood vessels, aiming to identify abnormalities in the heart's size, shape, and position, such as heart failure, congenital defects, and vascular...
