Abstract

This chapter reviews four non-invasive tests for detection of preclinical coronary heart disease (CHD) and for prediction of future coronary events in asymptomatic people: (a) coronary artery calcium detection by ultrafast computed tomography; (b) ankle-brachial blood pressure index; (c) B-mode ultrasound of the carotid artery for measurement of intima-media thickness; and (d) exercise stress testing. Each of these modalities has been studied in large samples of asymptomatic people in whom considerable follow-up and multivariable adjustment are available to determine incremental predictive value beyond standard risk factor measures.
