Cancer risks from diagnostic radiology. (2008, background): “A variety of studies has suggested that coronary artery calcium might indeed be a good predictor of cardiovascular events such as acute myocardial infarction, coronary revascularization and sudden death [87–90].”
European Guidelines on Cardiovascular Disease Prevention in Clinical Practice (Version 2012) (2012, neutral): “Many prospective studies have shown the prognostic relevance of the amount of coronary calcium.(156)”
Epidemiology, diagnosis, and management of polycystic ovary syndrome (2013, background): “CAC scores are predictive of myocardial infarction and sudden cardiac death.(91) The increase in CAC scores observed in PCOS is independent of age and BMI.”
Using the coronary artery calcium score to predict coronary heart disease events: a systematic review and meta-analysis. (2004, background): “Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) comparing risk of a coronary heart disease event in persons with low (1-100), medium (101-400), and high ( 400) coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores to persons without calcification.”
Coronary artery calcium score combined with Framingham score for risk prediction in asymptomatic individuals. (2004, methodology): “In4previouslypublishedreports, average follow-up was less than 4 years, and definite coronary events were often few.(10-13) Earlier reports also typically included revascularizations among the coronaryeventscountedtoincreasestudy power.”
Prognostic value of cardiac risk factors and coronary artery calcium screening for all-cause mortality. (2003, result): “Conversely, in an extended follow-up of their prior series, Arad et al ( 10 ) recently reported that moderate calcium scores (ie, 160) were associated with a relative risk of cardiac death or myocardial infarction that was 10-fold higher than that which was estimated with the Framingham risk index a”
From vulnerable plaque to vulnerable patient: a call for new definitions and risk assessment strategies: Part II. (2003, background): “C-reactive protein (CRP) is an independent risk factor and a powerful predictor of future coronary events in the asymptomatic population [154, 155] and in patients with stable and unstable disease.”
