Early detection of asymptomatic subjects who are at risk for future cardiovascular events
may allow for earlier medical treatment in order to prevent disease progression and future
events. Electron-beam computed tomography accurately identifies people with increased
coronary calcification, which is correlated with increased coronary plaque mass, increased
likelihood of obstructive coronary disease, and increased likelihood of future cardiovascular
events. The St. Francis Heart Study is a single-center combination study of men and women …
