The article presents clinical medicine research that assesses coronary artery calcium (CAC) score and the risk for coronary heart disease (CHD) and cardiovascular diseases (CVD) among middle-aged and older women considered to be "low risk" according to the Framingham Risk Score (FRS). Coronary ...

(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...
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...
The original risk score is based on traditional risk factors for heart disease, sex, race andcoronary artery calcium(CAC) levels, which are obtained from computed tomography (CT) imaging. Traditional risk factors in the MESA score include total cholesterol; low "good" cholesterol, or HDL; high...
(coronary heart disease, stroke, and fatal CVD) over a maximum of 5.3 years of follow-up. Results There were 222 CVD events during follow-up. Coronary artery calcium was associated more strongly than carotid IMT with the risk of incident CVD. After adjustment for each other (CAC score and...
The MESA CHD Risk Score is the first risk scoring tool to incorporate coronary artery calcium scores. The MESA CHD Risk Score can be used to help guide the intensity of preventive therapies such as diet, exercise, aspirin, blood pressure and cholesterol therapies. ...
Risk of Cardiovascular Disease in a Cohort of HIV-Infected Adults: A Study Using Carotid Intima-Media Thickness and Coronary Artery Calcium Score There is concern that human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection and the use of highly active antiretroviral therapy lead to accelerated atherosclerosis ....
