Background: Unlike Western and Asian populations, the prevalence and severity of coronary artery calcification (CAC) have not been adequately examined in Saudi Arabia and other nearby Arab Gulf countries. Objectives: To estimate the age and gender specific percentiles of coronary calcium score (CCS) and to study the severity of CAC in relation to patient risk in a large sample of asymptomatic Saudi patients. Methods: Retrospective cross-sectional study was conducted between July 2007 and December 2017 at a large Cardiac Centre in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The target was adult patients without pre-existing CAD referred to (64 multidetector spiral) computed tomography for standard indications. Results: A total 2863 patients were included in the current analysis. The 90th percentile of CCS was 95.0 in males compared with 53.2 in females and was 823.95 in patients aged ≥ 75 years compared with zero in patients 400) were 3.1% in males compared with 1.6% in females and 14.0% in patients aged ≥ 75 years compared with 0.0% in patients |
