Does Coronary Artery Calcification (CAC) score predict Cardiovascular Disease Incidence better than Carotid Intima-Media Thickness (IMT)?

Coronary artery calcification scoring is superior to carotid intima-media thickness for predicting incident cardiovascular disease events.
Although whether and how to clinically use bioimaging tests of subclinical atherosclerosis remains a topic of debate, this study found that CAC score is a better predictor of subsequent CVD events than carotid IMT.
