Cardiovascular disease is the leading cause of death worldwide. It kills almost twice as many people globally when compared to all cancers combined. Over 80% of early heart disease is preventable. However, most adults will start to develop advanced plaque in their coronary arteries early in life. By age 66, more than half of all females will have evidence of advanced plaque in their coronary arteries, as seen on a CT calcium score.
