Figure

  • Fig. 1 Coronary CT angiography with 64-row multidetector computed tomography revealed heavily calcified coronary arteries with a very high calcium score (Agatston score 1039.7). A: coronary calcium (white arrows) in the left coronary artery. B: coronary calcium in the distal right coronary artery, mimicking a stent with intraluminal narrowing (white arrows).
