✅ Smoking & HTN accelerate CAC onset ✅ Earlier CAC screening & personalized prevention in high-risk groups. 📌 Implications: 🔹 CAC >0 = higher ASCVD risk → consider earlier statin therapy. 🔹 Race & sex matter in risk stratification. 🔹 CAC screening could improve primary prevention in younger adults.

🚨 Race & Sex-Specific CAC Detection in Young Adults 🚨 🔍 Findings: ✅ CAC develops earlier in White men than other groups ✅ Age at CAC detection (with 2 ASCVD RFs): 🧑‍⚕️ White Men: 36.1 yra 👨🏾 Black Men: 41.9 yrs 👩🏻 White Women: 47.6 yrs 👩🏾 Black Women: 51.6 yrs 📖 : doi.org/10.1161/CIRC...

Think cigars & smokeless tobacco are “safer”? Think again. 🚨 New research links non-cigarette tobacco to higher inflammation & early signs of CV harm. Hs-CRP and IL-6 can be biomarkers to detect CVD before clinical symptoms. 🫀 ahajournals.org/doi/abs/10.1... @hopkinsheart.bsky.social
