Two important papers from the investigators at the EBT Research Foundation in Nashville, Tennessee, described the normal distribution of calcification across different asymptomatic age groups and showed that 98% of heart attacks, cardiac deaths or revascularization procedures occurred in patients with significant coronary calcium. These investigations clearly demonstrated that the amount of calcification measured by EBT, relative to the norms established in the general population, should be used as a predictor of events, or, more importantly, a blueprint outlining how aggressively the patient's physician should intervene in order to avoid those catastrophic consequences of heart disease.
