Calcium Score Impact in Primary Prevention

2025-11-05

Abstract excerpt

Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring (CAC) using non-contrast cardiac computed tomography is a validated, reproducible imaging technique that quantifies cummulative coronary atherosclerotic burden. Numerous large cohorts and meta-analyses consistently demonstrate a strong, graded association between CAC magnitude and future atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events (ASCVD). Incremental risk is observed across CAC c...
