Article Synopsis
- The coronary artery calcium data and reporting system (CAC-DRS) offers a new method for assessing coronary artery calcium severity, particularly relevant for lung cancer patients who have a heightened risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD).
- A study involving 309 lung cancer patients showed that higher CAC-DRS scores correlate with an increased risk of major adverse cardiac events (MACEs) and all-cause death, even after adjusting for other factors.
- The findings suggest that lung cancer survivors with higher CAC-DRS scores may require more intensive management of cardiovascular risk factors to improve their overall health outcomes.
