Abstract

Coronary artery calcification detected incidentally on NCCT scans in cancer patients is prevalent and often not reported. Coronary artery calcification presence or extent did not independently predict MACE. Coronary artery calcification extent was independently associated with increased risk of CAD events but not HF events.
