Association between cardiometabolic index and coronary artery calcification in young and middle-aged adults with coronary heart disease
CMI shows a significant independent association with CAC and outperforms BMI in predicting its presence among young and middle-aged adults with CHD. Given its simplicity, non-invasiveness, and low cost, CMI may represent a practical screening tool for early detection of asymptomatic coronary atherosclerosis in clinical settings.
