Coronary artery calcification is increasingly being reported on CT scans performed as part of Targeted Lung Health Checks. But what does it mean for patients, and how should primary care respond?

In this podcast Dr Will Howard, GP and Medical Director at Wessex LMCs, speaks with Dr Os Alsanjari, Consultant Cardiologist at Basingstoke Hospital, about the clinical significance of incidental coronary artery calcification and its implications for cardiovascular risk management.

Designed for GPs and other patient-facing primary care clinicians, this practical discussion explores how to interpret these findings, answer patients' questions with confidence, and support shared decision-making when CT results identify coronary artery calcification.
