Background—Electron beam CT (EBCT) is an accurate, noninvasive method to detect and quantify coronary artery calcification, a marker of coronary artery disease (CAD). This investigation examined the accuracy of EBCT to detect obstructive CAD (≥50% stenosis) and determined the optimal strata for quantity of coronary artery calcification to facilitate clinical decision-making.Methods and Results—Clinical research patients (n=213) were examined with coronary angiography and EBCT (angiography group), and 765 research participants were examined with only EBCT (nonangiography group). Of the angiography group, 53% had obstructive CAD. After adjustment for verification bias, the estimated sensitivity and specificity for calcium score ≥1 were 97.0% and 72.4%, respectively. Likelihood ratios for strata of calcium score associated with obstructive CAD were calculated in each sex and 2 age groups. Among those ≥50 years old, the same 4 strata of EBCT calcium scores were identified in each sex; likelihood ratios ranged from 0.03 (calcium score 0) to 12.85 (calcium score ≥200). The same 3 strata of EBCT calcium scores were identified in each sex among those <50 years old; likelihood ratios ranged from 0.13 (calcium score 0) to 190 (calcium score ≥100).Conclusions—A calcium score ≥200 among those ≥50 years old and calcium score ≥100 among those <50 years old provided strong evidence that patients of either sex had obstructive CAD. A calcium score of 0 provided strong evidence that patients ≥50 years old did not have obstructive CAD.
