Quick Takes
Among patients with nonobstructive CAD, greater coronary artery calcium scores (CACS) were associated with increased MI and all-cause mortality.
Statin therapy was associated with reduced cardiovascular events across the spectrum of CACS.
Study Questions:
Is statin therapy associated with a lower risk for cardiovascular events among systematic adults with no obstructive coronary artery disease (CAD)?
Methods:
Adults who had received coronary computed tomography (CT) testing were identified using data from the WDHR-CT (Western Denmark Heart Registry Cardiac Computed Tomography Registry), which includes all CT angiography testing in western Denmark since 2008. Adults with suspected CAD in western Denmark from 2008-2017, but without obstructive CAD (
