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 …

Background Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a measure of atherosclerotic burden and is
well-validated for risk stratification in middle-to older-aged adults. Few studies have …

Objectives: By examining the distribution of coronary artery calcium (CAC) levels across
Framingham risk score (FRS) strata in a large, multiethnic, community-based sample of men …

Objectives: The study examined whether progression of coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a
predictor of future coronary heart disease (CHD) events. Background: CAC predicts 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—Coronary artery calcium (CAC) has been demonstrated to be associated with
the risk of coronary heart disease. The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) …

Background Wide differences in risks for cardiovascular disease (CVD) events associated
with coronary artery calcium (CAC) have been reported. We evaluated the relationship of the …

Objective To evaluate the association of coronary artery calcium (CAC) and coronary heart
disease (CHD) events among young and elderly individuals. Participants and Methods This …

BACKGROUND: Elevated coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a marker for increase risk of
coronary heart disease (CHD). Although most CHD events occur among individuals with …

Aims While coronary artery calcium (CAC) has been extensively validated for predicting
clinical events, most outcome studies of CAC have evaluated coronary heart disease (CHD) …
