4 Challenges with Risk Assessment & Management Guidelines in 2015 Out of 101 million adults free of ASCVD in US, 33 million (recommended) and 12 million (considered) for statin 1 billion individuals worldwide candidates for statin Generic cost for statins 1 trillion dollars in 2020 Systematic overestimation of risk is a significant concern if it leads to prescription of statin therapy (and its potential adverse effects) among groups in which actual risk scores are lower than predicted. (Ridker P et al Ann Intern Med 2015) Two third patients averse to taking long term medication unless at high risk and substantial benefit. (Fontana M et al, Circulation 2015) 4

Abstract BACKGROUND: -Limited attention has been paid to negative cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk markers despite their potential to improve medical decision-making. We compared thirteen negative risk markers using diagnostic likelihood ratios (DLR), which model the change in risk for an individual after the result of an additional test. De-risking: Comparison of CAC=0 with Other Markers What about Costs?.Is the approach of not treating those with CAC=0 compared to current guidelines cost-effective? 16

17 PLOS ONE March CAC in 2016: The question to ask is Why Not rather than Why? Most precise measure for risk of clinical CVD event Widely available Inexpensive ( $) Easy to perform (takes 2-3 minutes) and interpret Radiation equivalent to mammogram Advantages to stakeholders Health System: Appropriately allocating healthcare resources to groups likely to receive net benefit from proven Interventions. Clinician: personalized assessment of risk on case by case situation Patient: Shared decision making CAC in 2016: Who and What? Who Intermediate risk patients 5-20% undecided about statin use Patient choice driven What CAC=0 Focus on Lifestyle Intervention CAC Moderate/High Dose Statin CAC>100 +High Dose Statin & Aspirin CAC>400 Can consider functional testing (stress test) At no point, asymptomatic patient should be considered for invasive angiography. 17
