Coronary artery calcium was the superior predictor for incident CHD/CVD compared to ankle-brachial index, high-sensitivity CRP, and family history in intermediate-risk individuals.
Does coronary artery calcium provide superior risk discrimination for incident CHD/CVD compared to other novel risk markers in intermediate-risk individuals?

Incident CHD/CVD (discrimination and risk reclassification)hard clinical
Coronary artery calcium is superior to ankle-brachial index, high-sensitivity CRP, and family history for predicting incident cardiovascular events and reclassifying risk in intermediate-risk individuals.
Absolute Event Rate: 0% vs 0%
Coronary artery calcium, ankle-brachial index, high-sensitivity CRP, and family history were independent predictors of incident CHD/CVD in intermediate-risk individuals. Coronary artery calcium provided superior discrimination and risk reclassification compared with other risk markers.
