Popis: BACKGROUND A more complete assessment of coronary artery disease (CAD) can be performed by coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA). The aim was to assess the prevalence, distribution and characteristics of coronary artery disease (CAD) and the reclassification of cardiovascular risk by CCTA in an asymptomatic Spanish population. DESIGN We included, in a cross-sectional study, 501 random subjects from asymptomatic population, aged 35 and 75. Risk factors, target organ damage and cardiovascular risk were assessed. CCTA was offered to measure the coronary artery calcium score(CACS), segment involvement score(SIS) and segment stenosis score(SSS). The offer was accepted by 220 subjects (44%), with a mean age of 58 ± 14 years, 56% of them male. RESULTS The mean CACS was 119.6 ± 381.7 (median (IQR) (0 (0-61.55))), with higher scores in males (191.9 ± 493.1) than females (26.1 ± 73.3; P
