Age-Gender Analysis of Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Score to predict early Cardiovascular Diseases

The paper analyzes the Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) score metric with respect to the age and gender of the individual. CAC score fairly predicts the risk of cardiovascular diseases. As there is an upsurge in the number of heart patients every day, cardiac health of a person should never be neglected. The Calcium Score involves a non-invasive CT scan of the heart and keeps track of the amount of calcified plaque in coronary arteries. The paper presents statistical comparisons among the scores obtained for males and females across different age groups. These findings are beneficial to predict early Cardiovascular Diseases and surely be useful as an awareness to maintain a healthy lifestyle.
