Figure 5 Predicted Changes in Life Expectancy for Ethnic Subsets by CAC Scores 100, 400, and 1,000, Respectively

The figure depicts the change in life expectancy for ethnic subsets of this registry for those with significant-to-extensive atherosclerosis including those with coronary artery calcium (CAC) scores 100, 400, and 1,000, respectively. The life expectancy (on the vertical axis) is plotted by age of individual (horizontal axis). The decline in life expectancy was highest among ethnic minorities with increasing levels of CAC burden.
