What people are saying
Several posts mention the calcium score over 300 as a critical marker, indicating that these patients require treatment equivalent to individuals with established cardiovascular disease. Phrases like 'we need to change the guidelines' and 'time to treat high CAC as aggressively as post-heart attack' indicate a strong sentiment towards reevaluating existing approaches in light of this study, demonstrating a sense of urgency and the potential for impactful change in practice.
The majority of discussions reflect a positive view of the article's conclusions about calcium scores and secondary prevention.
There is a high level of curiosity, as participants are eager to learn about the implications of calcium scores in cardiovascular health.
While some posts engage with the content more deeply, many remain focused on summarizing the findings without extensive commentary.
Many participants highlight the potential for significant changes in clinical guidelines based on the findings, indicating a belief in the study's relevance to medical practice.
Abstract in brief
- The study investigates how elevated coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores in individuals without a history of atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD) relate to cardiovascular risk and treatment approaches.
- The authors compared event rates of major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) between patients with established ASCVD and those with varying CAC scores but no prior ASCVD events.
- Findings showed that individuals with higher CAC scores, particularly those over 300, had increased MACE rates, indicating they may require similar aggressive treatment as patients with existing ASCVD.

@eltpharmd @OptumRx HeFH is heterogeneous. Here pt is “HeFH” bit on upper end of LDL-C (has VUS, probably compound, and thus HoFH). Athero. 700+ in 50’s, is 99th percentile: equal risk to pt who has had ASCVD: https://t.co/yPC7sDDRZS Goal is at least <100 mg/dL (argue it is <70, optimally <55) https://t.co/9oSuDZWvAw
