Key result
Coronary artery calcification is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease and plays an important role in cardiovascular risk assessment and intervention in older patients with tumors.
Why the study?
Cardiovascular disease prevention in older patients with tumors is critical, and finding effective ways to assess cardiovascular disease risk is key to benefiting these patients.
Does coronary artery calcification assessment improve cardiovascular disease risk assessment in older patients with tumors?
Does coronary artery calcification assessment improve cardiovascular disease risk assessment in older patients with tumors?
Coronary artery calcification assessment is a valuable tool for predicting cardiovascular disease risk and guiding prevention strategies in older patients with tumors.
CAC assessment aids CVD risk evaluation in older tumor patients; leaves open prospective validation before routine use.
Cardiovascular disease prevention and control in older patients with tumors is critical, and finding effective ways to assess cardiovascular disease risk is a key way to benefit patients with tumors. Coronary artery calcification is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease and plays an important role in cardiovascular disease risk assessment and intervention in older patients with tumors. This article summarizes the relevant clinical studies and guidelines published in recent years on the role of coronary artery calcification in cardiovascular disease risk assessment in older patients with tumors to provide a reference for early cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment strategies in these patients.
