A Study Comparing Skin Fluorescence to Coronary Artery Calcification (CACS)

October 7, 2011 updated by: VeraLight, Inc.

A Cross-Sectional Study Comparing Noninvasive Skin Fluorescence to Coronary Artery Calcification Measured by Rapid Computed Tomography

This study examines the relationship between the SCOUT DM device and coronary artery calcification as determined by rapid computed tomography in patients at risk for coronary heart disease.

Conditions

Detailed Description

This is a cross-sectional, single site, cohort screening trial. The correlation between the measured skin fluorescence and the CACS will be determined using a design that includes stratification by gender, subject age and subject CAC score. This design requires a single patient visit to the clinical site and a single measurement on the SCOUT device.
