📉 Low Risk ≠No Risk: CAC 🧠Adds Predictive Power
🚨 New Study Alert 🩺
Think you're low-risk? Think again. This MESA study shows that even "low-risk" individuals may harbor hidden coronary artery calcium (CAC) — and it matters.
📈 Adding CAC scoring significantly improved ASCVD risk prediction, reclassifying up to 18% into statin-eligible groups.
🧠Implication? Precision prevention may start with a scan.
