“…The result was similar to other study in Korean population. 9 However, discrepancy between CACS and FRS in our study of population was not evaluated in our study. Furthermore, our correlation coefficient was higher than value reported by Sung, et al 8 Zero CACS in their study was quite prevalent than our study population (70% vs 45.5%).…”

Background and Aims: Screening patients for coronary arterial disease can be through risk stratification using the Framingham Risk Score (FRS). Direct visualization of subclinical atherosclerotic lesions through coronary artery calcium scores (CACS) can be an additional strategy. Therefore, we want to know the relationship between FRS and CACS in asymptomatic individuals. Method:A cross-sectional study involving 110 asymptomatic participants who undergoing health screening was conducted in the National Hospital, Surabaya from November 2015 until January 2016. Risk stratification was evaluated using Hard Coronary Heart Disease (10-year risk) outcomes model score and the Agatston-Janowitz's coronary calcium score.Results: A significant positive correlation was observed between CACS and FRS (Spearman's correlation coefficient r=0.51, P<0.0001). Age and systolic blood pressure were also positively correlated with CACS. Total cholesterol was the only parameter that showed a negative correlation with CACS. No difference in CACS value was shown in gender and smoking status. Conclusion:There was a strong correlation between FRS and CACS in asymptomatic individuals.

The aims of this study were to identify the distribution of coronary artery calcium score (CACS) by age group and cardiovascular (CV) risk factors and to evaluate the association between CV risk factors and CACS classification in asymptomatic adults. The study included 31,545 asymptomatic Koreans, over 20 years of age with no previous history of malignancy, proven coronary artery disease, or stroke, who underwent CACS computed tomography at the Health Promotion Center, Samsung Medical Center, between January 2005 and June 2013. Mean (±SD) age was 53.8 (±8.5) years overall, 56.1 (±8.3) in men, and 53.3 (±8.5) in women. They were classified into five groups based on their resting CACS: none (CAC = 0), minimal (0 < CAC ≤ 10), mild (10 < CAC ≤ 100), moderate (100 < CAC ≤ 400), and extensive (400 > CAC). Older age groups exhibited higher CACS values. The proportion of CACS classification in our study was 55.5 % with no CACS, 9.5 % with minimal CACS, 19.8 % with mild CACS, 10.8 % with moderate CACS, and 4.3 % with extensive CACS. Adjusted odds ratios (ORs) were calculated for CV risk factors to determine their association with CACS. When analyzed according to sex, in males, the adjusted OR for CACS increased with the presence of hypertension (HT), diabetes mellitus (DM), obesity, chronic kidney disease, and smoking status. While, in females, the adjusted OR for CACS increased with the presence of HT, DM, and obesity. CV risk factors appear to be significantly associated with CACS in the Korean population.
