Calcium scans can help predict heart attack risk

Coronary calcium scores and abdominal x-rays were used to measure calcification, which was compared with measurements made by pulse pressure.

Pulse pressure indicates potential to suffer heart complications

Coronary calcium score (CCS) was evaluated by electron-beam tomography, Lp-PLA2 levels, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) lipoprotein subclasses, and other factors were assessed in 2001-2002.

The combination of coronary calcium scores measured by a CT scan and Creactive protein (CRP) levels accurately classifies cardiovascular risk in nondiabetic patients with other cardiac risk factors, according to a paper in the Oct 1 rapid access issue of Circulation.

Coronary calcium, CRP predict cardiovascular risk. (New Studies)

In the Pittsburgh Healthy Women Study, coronary calcium scores were strongly correlated with other risk factors for coronary disease (high LDL-cholesterol levels, low HDL-cholesterol levels, hypertension, higher triglyceride and glucose levels, and smoking), and postmenopausal hormone therapy was associated with less coronary calcium.

Coronary calcium scores are directly related to adverse incidents - the higher the score, the greater the likelihood of cardiovascular events.
