Coronary artery calcium testing can reveal plaque in arteries, offering a more precise estimate of a patient’s risk. Yet the ...

New research identifies diabetes as an independent predictor of major adverse cardiovascular events in patients with both ...

Abstract and Introduction. Hypertension, dyslipidemia, impaired glucose tolerance, and obesity remain the major modifiable risk factors for most of the coronary disease afflicting the elderly.

Having a coronary artery calcium (CAC) score of zero has generally been accepted as a marker of a very low risk of having a cardiac event within the next five years.

Fat hidden deep inside your muscles—not just around your waist—could put you at greater risk of heart attacks, heart failure, ...

Real‐World Evidence Linking the Predicting Risk of Cardiovascular Disease Events Risk Score and Coronary Artery Calcium. Journal of the American Heart Association, 2025; DOI: 10.1161/JAHA.124.038991 ...

Anderson JJB, et al. (2016). Calcium intake from diet and supplements and the risk of coronary artery calcification and its progression among older adults: 10‐year follow‐up of the Multi ...

However, a new approach to determining risk and selecting a statin is the use of the coronary artery calcium (CAC) score, which is determined by taking a low-radiation dose image of the heart ...

The researchers found the relative risk of incident coronary events to be 91% higher among participants at highest genetic risk than among those at lowest genetic risk (hazard ratio 1.91, 95% CI 1 ...

The AI-Risk algorithm, which incorporates FAI Score, the extent of coronary atheroma, as well as the patient’s traditional risk factors, was able to powerfully predict cardiac mortality and MACE ...
