Figure 3 Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve for coronary artery calcium score (CACS) to predict obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD). Using the raw calcium score values, ROC analysis was performed to pictorially represent how the sensitivity and specificity of the CACS varied at different Agatston score (AS) values. CACS was a satisfactory predictor of the presence of obstructive CAD at a cutoff of ≥100 AS (AUC 0.76±0.06; 95% CI 0.66–0.87, P<0.001). Figure was created using SPSS v25.
