Cost‐Effectiveness of Coronary Artery Calcium Scoring for Cardiovascular Disease Prevention in Diabetes: An Analysis From MESA
Broadening the use of high-intensity statins and low-dose aspirin in patients aged 45 to 84 years with diabetes can be considered cost-effective. If broad-scale use of intensive preventive treatment is either not feasible or not desired, then CACS may be cost-effective in refining preventive treatment decisions.
