Low Sensitivity

Forty-two symptomatic patients underwent both electron-beam computed tomo-graphic calcium scoring and coronary angiography. Correlation between coronary artery calcium score and angiographic coronary disease showed a high specificity (90%) but low sensitivity (50%). The low negative predictive value of 36% suggests that electron-beam computed tomography is not useful in symptomatic patients.
