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

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 …

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 …

Abstract Objectives South Asians (individuals from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Nepal, and
Sri Lanka) have high rates of cardiovascular disease which cannot be explained by …

Objectives: We sought to examine the age and gender distribution of coronary artery calcium
(CAC) by diabetes status in a large cohort of asymptomatic individuals. Background: Among …

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 In white populations, computed tomographic measurements of coronary-artery
calcium predict coronary heart disease independently of traditional coronary risk factors …

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 …
