ELCAP Coronary Artery Calcium Score at Lung Cancer Screening CT Predicts Up to 25-Year Mortality
The single ordinal Early Lung and Cardiac Action Program coronary artery calcium score is predictive of up to 25-year cardiovascular disease (CVD) and all-cause mortality, highlighting the potential of low-dose CT for artificial intelligence–driven early detection of both CVD and lung cancer.
