I I IIa IIa IIb IIb III III B B I IIa IIb III B Recommendations for Calcium Scoring Methods Measurement of CAC is reasonable for cardiovascular risk assessment in asymptomatic adults at intermediate risk (10% to 20% 10-year risk. Measurement of CAC may be reasonable for cardiovascular risk assessment persons at low to intermediate risk (6% to 10% 10-year risk). In asymptomatic adults with diabetes, 40 years of age and older, measurement of CAC is reasonable for cardiovascular risk assessment.
Computed tomography for coronary calcium should be considered for cardiovascular risk assessment in asymptomatic adults at moderate risk. IIa
BIOMARKERS Wang NEJM 2006 10 biomarkers in 3209 participants attending a routine examination of the Framingham Heart Study: the levels of C-reactive protein, B-type natriuretic peptide, N-terminal pro–atrial natriuretic peptide, aldosterone, renin, fibrinogen, D-dimer, plasminogen-activator inhibitor type 1, and homocysteine; and the urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio.

CAC and CHF – Rotterdam JACC 2012 • 1897 Patients • 6.8 year follow up • CAC scores were associated with heart failure (p 0.001), with a hazard ratio of 4.1 • Net reclassification index 34.0%).
EISNER Randomized Controlled Trial 2137 middle-aged + risk factors without CVD45-79y without CAD/CVD followed 4 years No Scan Scan • Clinical evaluation • Questionnaire • Risk factor consultation • Clinical evaluation • Questionnaire • Risk factor consultation • CAC scan • Scan consultation Rozanski.

Does CAC scanning improve outcomes? • Favorable change in RF, Rx with increasing CAC • CACS may effectively triage care – evaluation, intensification of therapy – without increasing cost Rozanski. Berman. EISNER. JACC 2011;57:1622. CACS 0 = 631. CACS>400 = 109.

“Imaging has at least 3 virtues” It individualizes risk assessment beyond use of age, which is a less reliable surrogate for atherosclerosis burden It provides an integrated assessment of the lifetime exposure to risk factors It identifies individuals who are susceptible to developing atherosclerosis beyond established risk factors Grundy.
