: C-reactive protein (CRP) to albumin ratio (CAR) is predictive marker of systemic inflammatory state in atherosclerotic coronary diseases when compared to predictive value of these two markers separately. We aimed to evaluate the relationship between CAR and the coronary artery calcium (CAC) score, Coronary Artery Disease-Reporting and Data System (CAD-RADS) score in patients' unknown diagnosis of coronary artery disease (CAD) underwent coronary CTA (Computed Tomography Angiography) and were classified by CAD-RADS scores.
