Coronary artery calcium on lung cancer screening-CT: An opportunity to optimize cardiovascular disease risk reduction
In lung cancer screened patients, cardiovascular risk reduction could be optimized significantly by the opportunistic use of coronary artery calcium and clinical assessment. Appropriate cardiovascular risk reduction could attenuate the high prevalence of cardiovascular deaths in these individuals and improve overall survival.
