Coronary Calcium ScoreCardiac EventsElevated coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a marker for increase risk of coronary heart disease (CHD). Although most CHD events occur among individuals with advanced CAC, CHD can also occur in individuals with little or no calcified plaque. In this study, we ...
coronary artery calcium scorework hourswork scheduleBackground: Long work hours may be associated with adverse outcomes, including cardiovascular disease. We investigated cross-sectional associations of current work hours with coronary artery calcification (CAC). Methods: Participants (n = 3046; 54.6% ...

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...
Several studies have demonstrated the tremendous potential of using coronary artery calcium (CAC) in addition to traditional risk factors for coronary heart disease (CHD) risk prediction. However, to date, no risk score incorporating CAC has been developed. Objectives The goal of this study was to...
(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. ...
