| Abstract |
Coronary artery calcium (CAC) accumulation, a marker of atherosclerosis burden, differs significantly among patients of different ethnicities. It has been proposed that CAC scores can be used to assess the number of life years lost or gained by an individual with a given amount of coronary artery calcium. Therefore, we sought to develop a method to calculate the coronary age of an individual based on the extent of CAC in this subject compared to that of individuals of the same race, age and sex. We used median CAC scores from previously published data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) to derive the predicted coronary age of subjects from 4 ethnic groups (White, Black, Hispanic and Chinese) of both sexes. With this method a 50-year-old white man with a CAC score of 40 has a coronary age of a 61-year-old white man; for a black man with a score of 40 the coronary age is 70. This method should allow patients to better understand the prognostic significance of their test results and may ensure a better compliance with preventive regimens. |

Attention Score in Context
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 1. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 13 June 2007.
All research outputs
#17,286,379
of 25,374,917 outputs
Outputs from The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging
#938
of 2,012 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#72,346
of 83,030 outputs
Outputs of similar age from The International Journal of Cardiovascular Imaging
#4
of 4 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 25,374,917 research outputs across all sources so far. This one is in the 21st percentile – i.e., 21% of other outputs scored the same or lower than it.
So far Altmetric has tracked 2,012 research outputs from this source. They receive a mean Attention Score of 2.3. This one is in the 44th percentile – i.e., 44% of its peers scored the same or lower than it.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 83,030 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one is in the 7th percentile – i.e., 7% of its contemporaries scored the same or lower than it.
We're also able to compare this research output to 4 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one.
