Background Coronary artery calcium (CAC) predicts coronary heart disease (CHD) events
better than carotid wall plaque presence; however, differences in the utility of CAC burden …

Background and aims Coronary artery calcium (CAC) and carotid plaque are markers of
atherosclerosis and predict future coronary heart disease (CHD) events. The aim of this …

Background—Presence of coronary artery calcium (CAC), carotid plaque, and increased
carotid intima-media thickness (IMT) may indicate elevated cardiovascular disease (CVD) …

Background: Absence of coronary artery calcium (CAC) identifies asymptomatic individuals
at low cardiovascular disease risk. Carotid artery plaque is a marker of increased risk, but its …

BACKGROUND: Carotid and coronary atherosclerosis are associated with each other in
imaging and autopsy studies. The aim of this study was to evaluate whether carotid artery …

Background: Coronary artery calcium (CAC) predicts atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease
(ASCVD) events, inclusive of coronary heart disease (CHD) and stroke, and is a decision …

Objective—Coronary calcium score (CCS), carotid plaque area (CPA), intima-media
thickness (IMT), and C-reactive protein (CRP) are independent predictors of cardiovascular …

Atherosclerosis begins in early life and has a long latent period prior to onset of clinical
disease. Measures of subclinical atherosclerosis, therefore, may have important implications …

Objectives: This study assessed the predictive value of coronary artery calcium (CAC) score
for cerebrovascular events (CVE) in an asymptomatic multiethnic cohort. Background: The …

Importance Coronary artery calcium (CAC), measured by computed tomography (CT), has
strong predictive value for incident cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. The standard CAC …
