Abstract
Coronary artery disease is a major cause of death and disability among women, worldwide, particularly during the postmenopausal state, with the caveat that their presenting symptoms are atypical compared to men. Also, there is conflicting data regarding the ideal method to determine their risk, particularly for primary prevention. During this review, we sought to determine the utility of the coronary calcium score for assessing such risk in asymptomatic women, by reviewing the most representative current data and analyzing additional studies to help improve the understanding of mechanisms of coronary artery calcification and determine better strategies of prevention and treatment in women with a positive CCS.
