Article Synopsis
- The study compares the effectiveness of the CAC-score and 19 biomarkers in predicting cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk, suggesting the CAC-score adds value beyond traditional risk factors.
- Researchers collected data from 1211 participants and tracked cardiovascular events over 10 years, finding a significant association between higher CAC-scores and increased risk of CVD events.
- While the CAC-score improved risk prediction significantly, the selected biomarkers (like cholesterol and inflammatory markers) did not enhance the predictive capacity for cardiovascular events.
Background: Due to its location very close to the bundle of His, mitral annulus calcification (MAC) might be associated with the development of atrioventricular (AV) conduction disturbances. This study assessed the association between MAC and AV conduction disturbances identified by cardiac implantable electronic device (CIED) use and electrocardiographic parameters. The association between MAC and traditional cardiovascular risk factors was also assessed.
