There is now sufficient evidence to consider CAC scoring for patients with inflammatory conditions such as Lupus, Rheumatoid Arthritis, HIV, and other autoimmune disorders. #CACFact #YesCCT

The current average cost of a CAC score is $100 and not covered by most insurance carriers, making it too expensive for low-income populations. The potential benefit is not available to all unless insurance coverage is mandated. #CACFact #YesCCT

Using the 2013 AHA/ACC Cholesterol guidelines, a 10yr follow up of the MESA projected the NNT to prevent an atherosclerotic event in patients with a CAC of 0 to be 68, and 24 in those with a CAC>100. #CACFact #YesCCT

In older and younger patients CAC scoring efficiently uncovers higher risk patients who need to be treated and identifies those who will most benefit from therapy. #CACFact #YesCCT
