Rotterdam Heart Study
2,013 patients Scores of 101-500 were associated with more than
a two-fold increased risk of stroke. Scores above 500 were over three times more likely
to suffer a stroke over the next three years. Age-adjusted odds ratio for MI in subjects with the
highest calcium scores was 7.7 for men, and 6.7 for women

events
Over 50% of cardiac events occur in ‘intermediate risk’ patients, as classified by NCEP or Framingham risk analysis
70% of all events occur at mild stenosis (<50%)
Compliance with anti-atherosclerotic therapy is less than 50% at one year

The likely reason that they will die suddenly is The likely reason that they will die suddenly is that only a mild, non-flow -limiting coronary that only a mild, non-flow -limiting coronary plaque will have been present before the plaque will have been present before the sudden development of an occlusive sudden development of an occlusive thrombus.”thrombus.”
