Abstract

BACKGROUND: Coronary artery calcification (CAC), often assessed by computed tomography (CT), is a powerful marker of coronary artery disease that can guide preventive therapies. Computed tomographies, however, are not always accessible or serially obtainable. It remains unclear whether other widespread tests such as transthoracic echocardiograms (TTEs) can be used to predict CAC.
