Risk calculators and risk factors for Coronary heart disease natural history, complications and prognosis

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring adds 4% the C-statistic for predicting ASCVD outcomes[1].

The United States Preventive Service Task Force (USPSTF) does not recommend screening with the CAC[2].
