Coronary artery calcium density improves cardiovascular risk prediction in humans (ΔC-statistic 0.060 [95%CI 0.032, 0.093]).
“Adding these 5 density parameters to traditional risk factors improved CVD risk prediction (ΔC-statistic 0.060 [95%CI 0.032, 0.093]) more than when we added Agatston score”

Revised artery calcium score better predicts heart disease

A measure of how well models ranked heart disease risk was 0.699 with the revised score versus 0.687 with the usual calcium score.A measure of how well models ranked heart disease risk was 0.699 with the revised score versus 0.687 with the usual calcium score.
