Lifestyle Risk Factors Predict Coronary Calcification among Male Endurance Athletes

Physiologically Speaking

Coronary artery calcium (CAC) is a measure of atherosclerosis and a strong predictor of cardiovascular disease. This finding might seem alarming since higher CACS is generally associated with an elevated risk of cardiovascular disease (CVD). Family history of CAD was the most potent predictor of severe CAC.
