الملخص

Computed tomography CT, is a diagnostic medical test that produces multipleimages of the inside of the body. CT images provide greater details of softtissues and blood vessels. A cardiac CT scan for coronary calcium is anoninvasive screening study for obtaining information about the presence,location and extent of calcified plaque in the coronary arteries. This study wasperformed in the Radiology department of the Royal Scan center and theRoyal Care International Hospital in Khartoum. The main objective of thisstudy was to evaluate the Calcium score values in patients with chest pain whowere of different risk factors (hypertension, diabetes and smoking) anddifferent variation of age and weight. The data were collected from 53patients, 24 (45.3%) females and 29 (54.7%) males. 28(52.8%) werehypertensive and 16 (30.1%) had preexisting diabetes mellitus and 12(22.6%)were smokers. Affected coronary arteries and total calcium scoring wererecorded. The Plaque type was classified into soft, mixed and hard accordingto the Radiologist diagnosis. The calcium scored values ranged between 0-≥803 units. The correlation between the calcium score and risk factor wasfound to be significant in hypertensive at p value≤ 0.006with no significantrelation was found in other patient groups. The plaque type shows that themixed plaque was significantly correlated with calcium score values atp≤0.046. No significant correlations were found between increasing ofCalcium Score values and aging and obesity. The study concluded that CTscan has great value in the diagnosis of patients with chest pain and evaluationof coronary arteries calcium score values. Although the previous studiesshowed reverse results, the researcher attributed the study findings to thelimitation of data sampling of the study which should be wider in futurestudies.
