Coronary artery calcium and risk of dementia in MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis). Circ Cardiovasc Imaging. 2017;10:e005349. doi: 10.1161/CIRCIMAGING.116.005349.Fujiyoshi A, Jacobs DR Jr., Fitzpatrick AL et al (2017) Coronary artery calcium and risk of dementia in MESA (Multi-...
The coronary artery calcium score (CACS) has been shown in large prospective studies to be associated with the risk of future cardiovascular events.1-4 Recent data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA), a population-based cohort of individuals without known cardiovascular disease, ...

The coronary artery calcium score (CACS) has been shown to predict future coronary heart disease (CHD) events. However, the extent to which adding CACS to traditional CHD risk factors improves classification of risk is unclear. To determine whether adding CACS to a prediction model based on trad...
11 To test the role of CAC density in CVD risk prediction, we used data from the MESA trial (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis) and derived a formula using the individual Agatston scores and the volume scores to create a per-participant CAC density score. We then evaluated the ...
The goal of this study was to derive and validate a novel risk score to estimate 10-year CHD risk using CAC and traditional risk factors. Methods Algorithm development was conducted in the MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis), a prospective community-based cohort study of 6,814 particip...

CAC has been found to predict major coronary events independently of standard risk factors and C-reactive protein and has been found to be superior to Framingham risk score in predicting events (8, 10, 23). As mentioned earlier, of the 3,563 MESA participants who had total 0 calcium score...
