One of the assessments for coronary atherosclerosis during cardiac computed tomography (CT) is coronary artery calcium (CAC) scoring. We found that a history of hypertension and diabetes are independent determinants of having a high-risk CAC score. This study involved a total of 1,129 female patients from a single centre.
