Significance of coronary artery calcification for predicting major adverse cardiovascular events: results from the NADESICO study in Japan

CONCLUSIONS: Adding assessment of Agatston CAC scores to Suita score was useful to improve the predictive ability for future MACE in Japanese patients. Agatston CAC scores of ≥100 or 200 in male and ≥ 400 in female patients in addition to Suita score improved the MACE risk prediction.PMID:37085027 | DOI:10.1016/j.jjcc.2023.04.006
