CAD and Calcific Plaquing
• CHD remains the leading cause of death worldwide
• CHD accounts for 1 out of 3 deaths in US adults > 35 years
• 41% increase in CV related deaths since 1990
Total CV Death Rate per 100,000
CDC, 2013-2015.

Cardiovascular Risk Stratification
• Global risk factor scores address only conventional factors Age, diabetes, elevated LDL, low HDL, HTN, tobacco use,
family history
• CACS demonstrates a very high NRI when compared to other risk markers
• High NRI - % patients with FRS estimate that were correctly reclassified by CACS:
52 to 66% in intermediate risk group
34 to 36% in high risk group
12 to 15% in low risk group

CACS Strongly Associated with CV Death

• Asymptomatic adults with intermediate risk (10-20% 10 year risk) –
Class IIA, LOE B
• Asymptomatic adults with low to intermediate risk (6-10% 10 year
risk) – Class IIB, LOE B
• Asymptomatic adults with diabetes – Class IIA, LOE B
• Low risk (< 6% 10 year risk) should not undergo CAC measurement –
Class III, LOE B

Indications for CAC Assessment

Coronary Artery Calcium Scan
• Ambulatory non-contrast CT scan with limited FOV
• 3 to 5 second breath hold
• Low radiation exposure
< 1 mSv (<< 1 mSv with newer systems)
Nearly equal to radiation from a mammogram
Approximate radiation from living in a big city x 3 months
• Costs less than most tests that are covered ($59 out of pocket)
• Immediate printed results given to patient
• Printed report tells referring provider what percentile via MESA

Coronary Artery Calcium Scan
0 = No identifiable calcium
1-99 = Mild disease
100-399 = Moderate disease
≥ 400 = Severe disease

• Calcium = presence of atherosclerosis, but atherosclerotic lesions
do not always contain calcium
• Calcium may occur early in life, and not necessarily in functionally
significant lesions (i.e. significant stenosis)
• CAC of 0 = very protective = < 1-2% chance of CV event next 10 yrs
• CAC > 0 – CAD is unequivocally present
• Even ‘low’ score of 1-10, confers a significant risk of CV events
• High (>100) and very high (>400) are proportionally associated with
more risk

Therapeutic Implications
• CACS > 0 confers greater risk of CV events, therefore ideal to initiate:
Aspirin 81mg PO daily
Statin therapy – *Irrespective of lipid level
• CAC > 100 confers high risk of CV events
Careful clinical assessment
Consider stress testing (? Functional stenosis)
• If initial CACS = 0, consider repeat scan no earlier than 5 years
