the recommendations are clear — no statin therapy and high-intensity statin therapy, respectively, are indicated. In the borderline- and intermediate-risk groups, the decision to initiate statin therapy depends on the overall risk estimate and the presence of risk...
i.e. < 10% or > 20% in 10 years, CAC quantification is not recommended: in low risk individuals, even a high CAC score does not generally elevate this person’s risk above the threshold to initiate therapy [4]. Yet, life-time
In persons with multiple risk factors, high coronary calcium scores (eg, >75th percentile for age and sex) denotes advanced coronary atherosclerosis and provides a Patient Selection Recommendations for CAC scanning are not based on age and gender alone. Rather, the Framingham Risk Score, which ...
A recent study has examined the accuracy of the US Preventive Services Task Force (USPSTF) and American College of Cardiology/American Heart Association (ACC/AHA) recommendations for identifying African American individuals who would benefit from statins. The ACC/AHA guidelines recommend stati...
VIENNA — Up to 6.5% of people classified as being at intermediate cardiovascular risk could be misclassified, depending on which brand of CT scanner was used to calculate their coronary artery calcium score, a new study suggests. "We found that calcium scores differed substantially among state-...

calcium scoreof 0. Having a coronary artery calcium score of 0, in conjunction with a nondiagnostic EKG and a negativetroponin, had a sensitivity of 96% and a specificity of 60% for MACEs in a year.82Further research is needed to define the role of coronary artery calcium scoring for ...
The primary outcome was the change in model discrimination or ΔC statistic when either coronary artery calcium, polygenic risk score, or both were added to the PCEs. The C statistic was used as the primary metric of risk discrimination based on published recommendations by an AHA scientific ...
