Table 5 Literature review: sensitivity/specificity of the coronary artery calcium score for coronary artery disease.

Number in references	Number of patients in study	Type of study	Findings
()⁴	64	Retrospective chart review	DSE had a 13% sensitivity and 85% specificity for obstructive CAD
()⁵	63	Retrospective chart review	DSE had a 41% sensitivity and 47% specificity for moderate to severe CAD (defined as > 50% stenosis)
()⁶	110	Quantitative systematic review	DSE had a 32% sensitivity and a 78% specificity for CAD
