  Coronary Artery Calcium and Arterial Stiffness Values that are Predictive of Long-Term Cardiovascular Events in People with Stable Coronary Artery Disease
  Author(s): Sukit Yamwong*
  
  Introduction: Major adverse cardiovascular events (MACEs) have been linked to subclinical atherosclerosis, which can be identified by elevated coronary artery calcium (CAC) or arterial stiffness as measured by the cardio-ankle vascular index (CAVI). However, there aren't many comparable data from these two assessments on the same population. Methods: From 2005 to 2013, both asymptomatic and symptomatic patients with stable coronary artery disease (CAD) who underwent coronary computed tomography and CAVI were enrolled and followed until December 2019 for the occurrence of MACEs (cardiovascular [CV] death, nonfatal myocardial infarction [MI], and nonfatal stroke). The relationships between the CAC score and CAVI and long-term MACEs were evaluated using a cause-specific hazard model. Results: 8687 pati.. Read More»
