Abstract:
This study evaluated the relationship between coronary artery calcium (CAC) score and the severity of
coronary artery disease in 105 patients with obesity using multislice CT angiography. Calcification was detected in
92.4% of cases and was more frequent in men. Higher CAC scores were strongly associated with multiple and
severe coronary stenoses. Despite limited sex and age differences, CAC scoring proved valuable for cardiovascular
risk stratification and guiding further diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.
