(Left) Receiver-operator characteristic (ROC) curves for the risk scores with and without coronary artery calcium (CAC) applied within the MESA (Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis) cohort. (Right) A boxplot of the predicted 10-year coronary heart disease (CHD) probabilities for each score st...
We evaluated the impact of arterial age calculation on reclassification of global coronary heart disease risk using the Framingham risk score. We applied CHD risk factor data from the Prospective Army Coronary Calcium Project to the MESA arterial age calculator (available at http://www.mesa-nhlbi....
