Episode 434: 441. Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) -- Yacky Yack, the details on CAC

Does a Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) scan still earn its place in modern cardiovascular prevention? This podcast cuts through the headlines to examine the recent research, challenge overconfident conclusions, and put CAC testing under the microscope alongside the PREVENT risk equation.

Each episode brings a sharp, evidence-first look at what calcium scoring can—and cannot—tell us about heart-attack risk. We unpack study methods, question the assumptions behind new publications, and ask the practical questions clinicians and patients actually need answered: When does CAC meaningfully change care? Who benefits most? And in an era of PREVENT, does a scan add actionable information beyond the numbers?

Clear-eyed, clinically grounded, and never afraid to interrogate the data, this is the podcast for anyone who wants the real value of CAC—not just the latest claim.
