Coronary artery calcification and cardiovascular disease risk assessment and intervention in older patients with tumors

<p indent="0mm">Cardiovascular disease prevention and control in older patients with tumors is critical, and finding effective ways to assess cardiovascular disease risk is a key way to benefit patients with tumors. Coronary artery calcification is an independent predictor of cardiovascular disease and plays an important role in cardiovascular disease risk assessment and intervention in older patients with tumors. This article summarizes the relevant clinical studies and guidelines published in recent years on the role of coronary artery calcification in cardiovascular disease risk assessment in older patients with tumors to provide a reference for early cardiovascular disease prevention and treatment strategies in these patients.
