Early Prediction of Cardiovascular Disease Among Young Adults Through Coronary Artery Calcium Score Technique

The diseased heart cases are rapidly increasing in lower age groups in addition to the older people. The paper focuses on the early prediction of CVD (Cardiovascular Disease) among young adults. CAC (Coronary Artery Calcium) score or simply the calcium score technique is used to analyze Cardiac Health across different age intervals among young adults. Cardiac Ailments once used to be considered quite often among old-aged people. But, the research study emphasizes that Cardiovascular Disease no longer develops in older persons only, but is tremendously increasing in young adults too. Research outcomes express that young people are also facing Sudden Cardiac Arrest (SCA). Calcium Score is the key indicator to predict cardiac risk at early stage and is obtained through a non-invasive scan of heart i.e. Computerized Tomography (CT). It is efficient to estimate the heart-blockage due to calcification of coronary arteries resulting to plaque formation. This paper systematically analyzes the calcium scores of the young patients suffering from different cardiac health issues. It also focuses to motivate youth towards keeping track of their calcium score, timely monitoring their physical activities, proper nutrition and maintaining a healthy and quality lifestyle.
