Because risk scores such as the Framingham Risk Score give an indication of the likely benefits of prevention, they are useful for both the individual patient and for the clinician in helping decide whether lifestyle modification and preventive medical treatment and for patient education, by identifying men and women at increased risk for future cardiovascular events.
The main aim of screening is to identify risk factors early and adopt preventive measures to reduce morbidity and mortality. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Early identification of risk factors can lead to timely interventions, such as lifestyle changes, medications, or surgical treatment.
Subjects without events who are incorrectly classified as higher risk are assigned a -1, as are subjects with events who are assigned a lower risk. Subjects not reassigned (i.e., those who remain in the same risk category) are assigned a 0. Sum the scores in each group and divide by the number of subjects in that group.
The well-established indications for the use of the CAC score include stratification of global cardiovascular risk for asymptomatic patients: intermediate risk based on the Framingham risk score (class I); low risk based on a family history of early coronary artery disease (CAD) (class IIa); and low-risk patients with diabetes (class IIa).

Simple to calculate: In simple cases, manual computing can be used to calculate a basic score (although some scores use rely on more sophisticated or less transparent calculations that require a computer program). Easily interpreted: The result of the calculation is a single number, with a higher score usually means higher risk.
