Article Synopsis
- Low-dose chest CT, commonly used for lung cancer screening, also detects coronary artery disease by identifying coronary artery calcium.
- In a study of 1486 high-risk lung cancer patients, 82.9% had coronary artery calcium, with 29.5% showing extensive levels.
- Extensive coronary artery calcium significantly predicted higher risks of all-cause death and cardiovascular events, highlighting the potential benefits of lung cancer screenings for detecting heart health issues.
