Coronary artery calcification (CAC) accompanies the development of advanced atherosclerosis. Nevertheless, the relationship between CAC and the susceptibility of a plaque to provoke a thrombotic event remains incompletely understood. This review summarizes the current understanding and literature on CAC.
