Low carb Atkins or Atkins like diets can be good for weight loss but for reducing the risk of heart disease, -which was the point of this article on coronary artery calcium, they may not be great. Mediterranean diets or Ornish diets have more data showing benefits in preventing heart diseas...

CAC = coronary artery calcium; CHD = coronary heart disease. Figure 2 displays a sample patient case. A 70-year-old Hispanic man with mild treated hypertension and no other traditional risk factors would have a 10-year CHD risk of 9.3% before considering CAC data and 3.1% after a CAC ...
Data from the Framingham Heart Study and risk-appraisal models were used to develop a Coronary Heart Disease (CHD) Risk Factor Calculator® for early identification of high-risk individuals. The Calculator was tested at an employee health fair for a large northeastern US corporation. Of the 590...
Coronary heart disease risk (CHD risk) was calculated using the online NIH 10-year heart attack risk calculator, which uses age, gender, total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, smoking status, and blood pressure status in its algorithm. Significance was determined using an alpha level of 0.05. ...
Meaning Coronary artery calcium may potentially be used as a tool to aid decision-making among select young adults at elevated lifetime risk for cardiovascular disease; the relatively high prevalence of CAC in younger adults with cardiovascular risk factors reinforces the need for the adoption of he...
those who havetype 2 diabetes, and those who have a 10-year risk of a heart attack greater than 7.5%. You and your healthcare professional may estimate risk by using the American Heart Association and American College of Cardiology's ASCVD (Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease) Risk Calculator...
