Coronary artery calcium (CAC), a measure of subclinical coronary heart disease (CHD), may
be useful in identifying asymptomatic persons at risk of CHD events. The current study …

Importance Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is associated with coronary heart disease (CHD)
and cardiovascular disease (CVD); however, prognostic data on CAC are limited in younger …

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

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) may improve risk stratification for patients with coronary heart
disease (CHD) beyond traditional risk factors. Subjects from the Framingham Heart Study …

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

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 …
