In this large-scale study, including patients referred for CAC scoring and/or coronary computed tomography angiography, CAC score percentiles were provided for women and men across the selected age categories which may be in therapeutic decision-making. As an approximate rule of thumb, a non-zero CAC score corresponds to the high-risk category in women aged <55 years and in men aged <45 years.
