The researchers found that individuals who are not recommended treatment as per the current guidelines may still have a high risk of cardiovascular events, which is captured by their high CAC score.

The risk for sudden cardiac death (SCD) climbs steadily in tandem with coronary artery calcium (CAC) burden, independent of more conventional risk factors, in primary-prevention patients considered ...

Even among adults with zero coronary artery calcium (CAC), cigarette smoking, diabetes, and hypertension are still independently associated with incident atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) ...

Physical activity may paradoxically hasten the build-up of calcium deposits in the coronary arteries, the amount of which—measured as the coronary artery calcium (CAC) score—is traditionally used to ...
