In asymptomatic adults, EBCT of the coronary arteries predicts coronary death and nonfatal MI and the need for revascularization procedures.

Coronary EBCT predicts future atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease events in asymptomatic subjects.

Treatment with alpha-tocopherol, vitamin C, and low doses of atorvastatin (20 mg once daily) did not affect the progression of coronary calcification. Treatment may have reduced ASCVD events, especially in subjects with calcium scores >400, but these effects did not achieve conventional levels of statistical significance.

Electron beam CT scanning offers improved discrimination over conventional risk factors in the identification of persons with any angiographic coronary disease or angiographic obstructive coronary disease.
