Overview

Retrospective study shows CACS predicts cardiovascular events in patients, indicating risk stratification may be essential.

Key Points

  • Patients with CACS ≥400 showed a 4.76-fold higher risk of mortality or MACE compared to CACS =0.
  • The study included 100 patients with a mean age of 65.4 years and found significant predictors of MACE.
  • CACS is a significant independent predictor of mortality, especially in males and hypertensive patients.
  • The findings highlight the importance of CACS in early identification of high-risk individuals in clinical practice.
