: The association between the presence of coronary artery calcium (CAC) and the risk of coronary artery disease (CAD) has been appreciated for decades. In this review, we critically appraise the role of CAC based on computerized tomography in contemporary risk stratification. Available evidence suggests that the measurement of CAC is a useful modality in many patients for more precise risk stratification and prognostic determination. Whether newer CAC score incorporating extra coronary calcification will add incremental value, especially for stroke and other non-coronary vascular outcomes, needs a prospective study.

Important in the pathogenesis of many diseases of the cardiovascular system plays a decrease in elasticity and stiffening of the large arteries. Currently, one of the leading places is devoted to the study of the role of the vascular wall in the pathogenesis of hypertension. A number of studies indicate that an increase in the rigidity of the arterial bed is an independent factor of cardiovascular risk: at the same time, the risk of coronary artery disease, stroke, dissecting aortic aneurysms, and overall mortality from cardiovascular diseases is higher.
