Value of Coronary Artery Calcium Scanning in Association With the Net Benefit of Aspirin in Primary Prevention of Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease

Study (n=2191) found higher coronary artery calcium (CAC) is associated with atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (CVD) & bleeding events. High CAC score denotes net benefit from aspirin for primary prevention, but only in setting of lower bleeding, and intermediate CVD risk.
