Does coronary artery calcium scoring predict mortality in young adults <45 years old and elderly adults >75 years old?
Young adults <45 years old and elderly adults >75 years old
Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring
Mortalityhard clinical
CAC scoring is a valuable predictor of mortality across age extremes, demonstrating that biological age (as measured by CAC) can trump chronological age in risk assessment.
The value of CAC for predicting mortality extends to both elderly patients and those <45 years old. Elderly persons with no CAC have a lower MR than younger persons with high CAC.
