Percent of Patients Undergoing Cardiac Testing and Statin Utilization by Month Before and After Undergoing CAC Scoring

(A) Percent Patients that Undergo Cardiac Testing by Month. (B) Percent Patients With Statin Prescriptions by Month. Percentages were calculated as the number of patients with a new prescription or an existing prescription from the previous month, divided by the number of patients at risk. Patients at risk were defined as those with continuous coverage, excluding individuals hospitalized for myocardial infarction (n = 11,151 total from baseline through month 6). High-intensity statin was defined as rosuvastatin ≥20 mg/day or atorvastatin ≥40 mg/day. CAC = coronary artery calcium; CT = computed tomography; EKG = electrocardiogram; MRI = magnetic resonance imaging.
