The document summarizes a study that evaluated the combined use of computed tomography (CT) coronary artery calcium scoring and high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (CRP) testing to predict cardiovascular events in a cohort of 967 non-diabetic adults over 6.4 years. The study found that higher calcium scores and CRP levels were both associated with increased risk of myocardial infarction, coronary death, and other cardiovascular events. Participants with high calcium scores and high CRP had the highest risks, with relative risks up to 6.1 for heart attack/death and up to 7.5 for any cardiovascular event. The results suggest that calcium scoring and CRP testing provide complementary predictive power and assess different disease mechanisms.
