This review summarizes the framework behind global guidelines of coronary artery calcium
(CAC) in atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk assessment, for applications in both the …

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a highly specific marker for coronary atherosclerosis. The
CAC Consortium, a multicenter, retrospective, real-world cohort study, was established to …

Background: There are limited data on the unique cardiovascular disease (CVD), non-CVD,
and mortality risks of primary prevention individuals with very high coronary artery calcium …

We evaluated the accuracy of coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring on a dual-source
photon-counting detector CT (PCD-CT). An anthropomorphic chest phantom underwent …

Importance Coronary artery calcium scores (CACS) are used to help assess patients'
cardiovascular status and risk. However, their best use in risk assessment beyond traditional …

BACKGROUND: Precision estimation of cardiovascular risk remains the cornerstone of
atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) prevention. While coronary artery calcium …

Over the last decades, significant advances have been achieved in the treatment of coronary
artery disease (CAD). Proper non-invasive diagnosis and appropriate management based …

Abstract Aims Lipoprotein (a)[Lp (a)] is an atherogenic lipid particle associated with
increased risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) events. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) …

Objective To examine associations between physical activity (PA), inflammation, coronary
artery calcification (CAC), and incident coronary heart disease (CHD) in African Americans …

Knowing the patient's current cardiovascular disease (CVD) status, as well as the patient's
current and future CVD risk, helps the clinician make more informed patient-centered …
