Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring helps in assessing patients with cardiovascular risk, particularly in those who are asymptomatic. The calcium score, derived from a computed tomography (CT) scan, quantifies calcified plaque in the coronary arteries, providing clinicians with insight into the patient’s risk for coronary artery disease (CAD) and cardiovascular events. Understanding how calcium scores vary by age is critical in optimizing risk stratification and guiding preventive therapies.
