Prognostic importance of extensive coronary calcium on lung cancer screening chest computed tomography
Among people undergoing low-dose chest CT for lung cancer screening, extensive coronary artery calcium was an independent predictor of all-cause death and cardiovascular events, even after adjustment for noncardiovascular death. The opportunity to identify and reduce risks from coronary artery disease may represent an additional benefit of lung cancer screening.
