Role of Cardiovascular Imaging in Risk Assessment: Recent Advances, Gaps in Evidence, and Future Directions
Key result
Cardiovascular imaging enhances ASCVD risk categorization to enable customized primary and secondary prevention strategies.
Why the study?
Current risk scores fail to identify a significant proportion of at-risk individuals for primary prevention, and homogenous secondary prevention approaches overlook risk heterogeneity among ASCVD patients.
