Context The coronary artery calcium score (CACS) has been shown to predict future
coronary heart disease (CHD) events. However, the extent to which adding CACS to …

Background: Several studies have demonstrated the tremendous potential of using coronary
artery calcium (CAC) in addition to traditional risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) …

Background—The coronary artery calcium (CAC) score predicts coronary heart disease
(CHD) events, but methods for interpreting the score in combination with conventional CHD …

BACKGROUND: Whether the absence of coronary artery calcium, or conversely the
presence of high volumes of coronary artery calcium, may alter assessment of coronary …

Importance Coronary artery calcium scores (CACS) are used to help assess patients'
cardiovascular status and risk. However, their best use in risk assessment beyond traditional …

Importance Coronary artery calcium score and polygenic risk score have each separately
been proposed as novel markers to identify risk of coronary heart disease (CHD), but no …

ContextGuidelines advise that all adults undergo coronary heart disease (CHD) risk
assessment to guide preventive treatment intensity. Although the Framingham Risk Score …

Importance Besides age, other discriminators of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
(ASCVD) risk are needed in older adults. Objectives To examine the predictive ability of …

Objectives: In this study, we aimed to establish whether age-sex–specific percentiles of
coronary artery calcium (CAC) predict cardiovascular outcomes better than the actual …

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a highly specific feature of coronary atherosclerosis. On
