Correlation of Global Cardiac Microcalcification with CHADS2and CHADS2-VASc Scores in Individuals At-risk for Cardiovascular Disease as Assessed by NaF-PET/CT

Conclusions: Global cardiac NaF uptake on PET/CT correlated positively with both CHADS2 and CHA2DS2-VASc scores. Our data provides further evidence to support the association of these scoring systems with cardiac atherosclerotic burden.
