Relationship between 10- and 30-year PREVENT Risk Scores with Coronary Artery Calcium and Incident Atherosclerotic Cardiovascular Disease: MESA.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

The 2023 American Heart Association Predicting Risk of Cardiovascular Disease (CVD) EVENTs (PREVENT) risk equations allow for 10- and 30-year atherosclerotic CVD (ASCVD) quantitative risk assessment. We investigated the relationship between PREVENT 10-year and 30-year ASCVD risk categories with coronary artery calcium (CAC) and incident ASCVD.

Methods

This analysis included participants from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis with CAC measured by computed tomography and calculated PREVENT (N=6,747) risk score. Prevalent, incident, and CAC progression, as well as incident ASCVD, were compared by clinical 10-year risk categories and 30-year risk cut points based on a framework categorizing lifetime risk of ASCVD; low risk was defined as < the mean 30 year PREVENT e
