Revolutionizing Risk Assessment: Coronary Artery Calcium Score in Cardiovascular Disease Management
Abstract: Cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) remain a leading cause of mortality worldwide, necessitating continual advancements in risk assessment and management strategies. Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring has emerged as a pivotal tool in cardiovascular risk stratification, particularly for individuals at intermediate risk. This paper explores the transformative role of CAC scoring in revolutionizing risk assessment and guiding personalized management approaches for CVD prevention. We delve into the principles of CAC scoring, its clinical significance, and its integration into current guidelines and practices. Additionally, we review evidence supporting the efficacy of CAC scoring in refining risk prediction, optimizing therapeutic decisions, and improving patient outcomes. Furthermore, we discuss challenges and future directions for leveraging CAC scoring to enhance cardiovascular disease management.
