CV Risk Assessment
– Risk Score in asymptomatic patients: • Framingham • Euroscore
– Useful when selecting the most appropriate candidates for drug therapies intended to reduce risk
CV Risk Assessment Major risk factors include:
• cigarette smoking • hypertension (BP greater than or equal to 140/90 mm Hg or on
antihypertensive medication) • low HDL cholesterol (less than 40 mg/dL), • family history of premature CHD (CHD in male first-degree relative
less than 55 years; CHD in female first-degree relative less than 65 years)
• age (men greater than or equal to 45 years; women greater than or equal to 55 years).
CV Risk Assessment • CHD Risk—Low
– Defined by the age-specific risk level that is below average. – low risk will correlate with a 10-year absolute CHD risk 10%.
• CHD Risk—Intermediate – moderate risk will correlate with a 10-year absolute CHD risk between
10% to 20%. • CHD Risk—moderately high risk:
– 2+risk factors plus a 10-years risk for hard CHD less than 10%
• CHD Risk—High – Defined as the presence of diabetes mellitus in a patient 40 years of
age, peripheral arterial disease or other coronary risk equivalents (2+risk factors),
– or the 10-year absolute CHD risk of 20%.
Heart Evaluation 50 Years old Asymptomatic Smoker
• CHD Risk—Intermediate – 2+risk factors – moderate risk will correlate with a 10-year absolute CHD risk between 10% to 20%.

Atherosclerosis: Plaque rupture -----AMI
11 Coronary remodeling and calcifications
Introduction to CAC Measurement
Introduction to CAC Measurement
• Calcium because of its high density can be easily detected, segmented, and quantified:
• Coronary calcifications more frequently found in advanced lesions or in ederly population
• Positive correlation between localisation and amount of Ca and % of sténosis, but non linear relationship with large confidence interval
• Coronary calcifications could be founded on segment without stenosis
• Relationship between calcified plaque and rupture is unknown
• Statines can decrease or increase coronary calcification burden

During a median of 5.8 years of follow-up among a final cohort of 5878, 209 CHD events occurred, of which 122 were myocardial infarction, death from CHD, or resuscitated cardiac arrest. • In model 1 (conv FRCV): 69% of the cohort was classified in the highest
or lowest risk categories compared with 77% in model 2 (CACS) • CACS resulted in a net reclassification improvement = 0.25; 95%
confidence interval, 0.16-0.34; P < .001). • Using CACS An additional 23% of those who experienced events were
reclassified as high risk, and an additional 13% without events were reclassified as low risk

consideration of the financial costs (health system). • clinical cost (individual people) exposing potentially healthy populations to

Lung Cancer Detected at Cardiac CT: Prevalence, Clinicoradiologic Features, and Importance of Full–FOV Images
• Materials and Methods:
– retrospective study between January 2004 and December 2007. – Patients known to have lung cancer at the time of cardiac CT were excluded. – The rates of lung cancer detection at three FOVs—limited and full FOV at cardiac scanning
and full FOV at thoracic scanning—were compared by using McNemar testing. • Results:
– The prevalence of lung cancer detected at CT was 0.31% (36 of 11654 patients, 16 [44%] never smokers) and was higher in patients suspected or known to have coronary artery disease (0.43% [24 of 5615 patients]) than in asymptomatic screening-examined patients (0.20% [12 of 5924 patients]) (P = .0457).
– Adenocarcinoma was the most common (in 31 [86%] of 36 patients) histologic subtype. – Of 34 non–small cell lung cancers, 23 (68%)—including 16 stage IA cancers—were resectable. – Four (11%) and 19 (53%) of the 36 CT-depicted cancers were visible in limited and full FOV
at cardiac scanning, respectively, and 17 (47%) were visible in full FOV at thoracic scanning only.
• • Conclusion:
– The prevalence of lung cancer at cardiac CT was 0.31%; and 68% of these malignancies were at a resectable stage.
– Use of a limited FOV at cardiac scanning led to a large majority (89% [32 of 36 cancers]) of the lung cancers detected at full thoracic scanning being missed; thus, inclusion of the entire chest at cardiac CT is advisable.
