Relationship between cardiovascular risk factors and coronary calcification in a middle-aged Dutch population: the Imalife study
Abstract Background Systematic COronary Risk Evaluation (SCORE) has been proposed to assess the 10-year risk of fatal cardiovascular diseases, with distinction between low-risk and high-risk countries. Risk modifiers are recommended to further improve risk reclassification, for example the coronary artery calcium (CAC) score. CAC scoring can significantly improve risk prediction for coronary events based on outcome studies. The impact of CAC scoring on risk classification in a middle-aged cohort from a low-risk country in comparison to SCORE is unknown. Purpose To assess presence of coronary c... Mehr ...
