Résumé
Background
Risk equations estimate 10-year ASCVD risk but were not designed to guide coronary artery calcium (CAC) testing, although guidelines consider CAC for risk refinement in borderline or intermediate-risk adults.
Objectives
To compare the Predicting Risk of Cardiovascular Disease EVENTs (PREVENT) with Pooled Cohort Equations (PCE) for detecting CAC, identifying optimized CAC referral thresholds.
