Behind the Science: Using Coronary Calcium to Improve Lipoprotein(a) Risk Prediction | JACC Author Interviews

In this episode of Behind the Science, we explore how coronary artery calcium scoring improves cardiovascular risk assessment in patients with elevated lipoprotein(a). This multicohort study highlights how Lp(a) and CAC serve as independent predictors of ASCVD and how combining both tools enhances risk stratification in clinical practice. Learn how calcium scoring can help identify higher risk individuals, guide preventive cardiology decisions, and support personalized treatment strategies. This discussion is essential for clinicians focused on heart disease prevention, lipid disorders, and advanced cardiovascular imaging.
