Investigating the Impact of a Patient-directed Coronary Artery Calcium Score Report
Study Details
Study Description
Brief Summary
The goal of this study is to examine if communication of image-based cardiovascular risk to patients undergoing coronary artery calcium scoring (CAC) improves patient understanding of their risk for cardiovascular disease when compared with usual care (physician-only report).
