Funded Activity Summary

Lifetime risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) is doubled in families with premature CAD. This study will be the first randomized controlled trial of the use of coronary artery calcium scoring (CCS) in relatives of patients with premature CAD, in which treatment will be initiated based on CCS. At three years, the effectiveness of intervention will be assessed on change in plaque volume at CT coronary angiography. The results inform the guidelines regarding evaluation of families with CAD.
