Patients with high CAC scores have simply had their coronary artery disease detected by the high amount of coronary calcium. The calcium itself is not the problem. Indeed, it has been suggested that the calcium may represent shrinkage and stabilization of plaques (8). Statins are often recommende...
Coronary artery calcium scores alone were also able to rank CHD event risk independently of the FRS. The CACS significantly modified the risk prediction in all categories of an FRS of at least 10% but not when the FRS was less than 10%. The increment in predicted risk was equal to a 3%...

This cross-sectional study compares coronary artery calcium scores in patients with moderate to severe psoriasis, type 2 diabetes, and healthy controls.
What is a normal coronary artery calcium score?Coronary Artery Calcium Score:A coronary artery calcium score is used to quantify the amount of calcium in the coronary arteries, which are the blood vessels that deliver blood directly to the tissues of the heart. The amount of calcium in the ...

CORONARY artery diseaseCHEST painBackground: The coronary artery calcium (CAC) score can be used to increase (CAC score > 0) or decrease (CAC score = 0) the likelihood of coronary artery disease (CAD). We compared the CAC score with the pre-test probability (PTP) for CAD ...
Objective: To assess coronary artery calcium (CAC) score and subsequent risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) and cardiovascular (CVD) events among asymptomatic women judged to be at low risk by the Framingham risk score ( FRS), a common approach for determining 10-year absolute risk for CHD...
