Presence of coronary artery calcium (CAC) is associated with a high risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Nevertheless, although CAC is a marker of atherosclerosis it is still uncertain whether CAC is a marker of plaque vulnerability. Therefore, the aim of this study was to verify if calcification identifies a vulnerable patient rather than the vulnerable plaque.

Abstract

Presence of coronary artery calcium (CAC) is associated with a high risk of adverse cardiovascular outcomes. Nevertheless, although CAC is a marker of atherosclerosis it is still uncertain whether CAC is a marker of plaque vulnerability. Therefore, the aim of this study was to verify if calcification identifies a vulnerable patient rather than the vulnerable plaque.
