Background There are currently no recommendations guiding when best to perform
coronary artery calcium (CAC) scanning among young adults to identify those susceptible …

Objectives: The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence and distribution of
coronary artery calcium (CAC) across Framingham Risk Score (FRS) strata and therefore …

The identification of premature CAC is important because it suggests that calcific plaque can
be detected with modern imaging earlier in the natural history than previously thought …

Aims To evaluate the ability of Systematic COronary Risk Estimation 2 (SCORE2) and other
pre-screening methods to identify individuals with high coronary artery calcium score …

Background and aims We sought to understand the risk factor correlates of very early
coronary artery calcium (CAC), and the potential investigational value of CAC phenotyping …

Objectives This study sought to quantify and model conversion of a normal coronary artery
calcium (CAC) scan to an abnormal CAC scan. Background Although the absence of CAC is …

Background—The prognostic value of coronary artery calcium (CAC) or carotid intima-media
thickness (CIMT) among asymptomatic adults with a family history (FH) of premature …

The prognostic value of traditional atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) risk
factors may decrease with age. We sought to determine whether the association between …

Background The transition from no coronary artery calcium (CAC) to detectable CAC is
important, as even mild CAC is associated with increased cardiovascular events. We sought …

Objectives This study sought to assess the effect of coronary artery calcium (CAC) on
coronary heart disease (CHD) risk prediction in a younger population. Background CAC …
