Clinical Utility of Coronary Calcium Score. A Guide for Practitioners
Guest: Regis I. Fernandes, M.D.

Hosts: Sharonne N. Hayes, M.D.
The coronary calcium score is becoming a critical risk assessment tool to stratify global ASCVD risk better. The incidental coronary calcium score finding in noncardiac CTs also provides opportunities for risk stratification but challenges in uncharted territory. What is the ideal patient for a coronary calcium score? Who is not a perfect candidate for coronary calcium score, when should it be repeated, etc., are all essential contemporary questions in preventive Cardiology. This podcast will cover the most recent recommendations for coronary calcium scores from various societies and the most common questions from patients and providers regarding the topic.

Topics Discussed:

  • Should we always recommend statins for patients with a positive coronary calcium score?
  • Can statins decrease coronary calcium?
  • When is it appropriate to repeat the coronary calcium score?
  • Is the coronary calcium score helpful in younger or older individuals?
