| Guideline | Recommendation | Class | Level of Evidence |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2010 ACCF/AHA Guideline for Assessment of Cardiovascular Risk in Asymptomatic Adults [1] | Measurement of CAC is reasonable for cardiovascular risk assessment in asymptomatic adults at intermediate risk (10% to 20% 10-year risk of CHD) | IIa | B |
| In adults with diabetes and are 40 years or older, measurement of CAC is reasonable for cardiovascular risk assessment. | IIa | B | |
| Measurement of CAC is reasonable for cardiovascular risk assessment in patients with a low to intermediate risk of CHD (6% to 10% 10-year risk) | IIb | B | |
| Persons at low risk (<6% 10-year risk of CHD) should not undergo CAC measurement for cardiovascular risk assessment. | III | B | |
