Changes in cardiovascular medication after coronary artery calcium scanning and normal single photon emission computed tomography myocardial perfusion imaging in symptomatic patients

Conclusions Higher CAC scores are associated with the initiation of aspirin and statin therapy in patients with normal SPECT MPI. In patients with lower CAC scores, discontinuation of cardioprotective medication is more likely. CAC score is independently associated with posttest statin and aspirin use.
