CT CAC linked to cardiovascular mortality in young adults
July 19, 2019 -- Positive scores on CT coronary artery calcium (CAC) scans were strongly associated with an increased risk of heart disease and all-cause mortality in young adults according to new research, published online July 19 in JAMA Network Open. CT CAC testing could help direct these individuals to preventive therapy, researchers say.
