2. Coronary CT calcium scan - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coronary_CT_calcium_scan

   The tomographic slices of the heart are 3 millimeters thick and average about 50–60 slices from the coronary artery ostia to the inferior wall of the heart. The calcium score of every calcification in each coronary artery for all of the tomographic slices is then summed up to give the total coronary artery calcium score (CAC score). [9]

   Reference ranges (reference intervals) for blood tests are sets of values used by a health professional to interpret a set of medical test results from blood samples. Reference ranges for blood tests are studied within the field of clinical chemistry (also known as "clinical biochemistry", "chemical pathology" or "pure blood chemistry"), the ...

   With a maximal stress test the level of exercise is increased until the person's heart rate will not increase any higher, despite increased exercise. A fairly accurate estimate of the target heart rate, based on extensive clinical research, can be estimated by the formula 220 beats per minute minus patient's age.

7. Cardiac imaging - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_imaging

   Specifically, it looks for calcium deposits in the coronary arteries that can narrow arteries and increase the risk of heart attack. [17] This severity can be presented as Agatston score or Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) score. The CAC score is an independent marker of risk for cardiac events, cardiac mortality, and all-cause mortality. [18]

9. Cardiac marker - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cardiac_marker

   Reference ranges for blood tests, measured in units, including several cardiac markers. Depending on the marker, it can take between 2 and 24 hours for the level to increase in the blood. Additionally, determining the levels of cardiac markers in the laboratory - like many other lab measurements - takes substantial time.
