 Coronary artery calcium, quantified by computed tomography scanning, is one of the well-known measures of subclinical atherosclerosis. Coronary artery calcium is considered an end result from the long-term exposure to risk factors. CAC has been shown to improve risk stratification in asymptomatic individuals with intermediate-risk(e.g., an option to facilitate decision making)for primary prevention of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease in the US/western countries. Coronary artery calcium also represents a surrogate of atherosclerosis burden. However, the lack of evidence regarding issues such as costs or radiation exposure related to measuring coronary artery calcium warrants further studies.
