Reporting recommendations for coronary artery and aortic valve calcification

	Suggested report text
Coronary artery calcification	Mild/Moderate/Severe coronary artery calcification, indicating the presence of coronary artery disease. If the patient has associated symptoms recommend management as per chest pain guidelines (e.g. NICE CG95, SIGN 151). If the patient is asymptomatic consider reviewing modifiable cardiovascular risk factors and managing as per guidelines for primary prevention (e.g. NICE CG 181).
Aortic valve calcification	Moderate/Severe aortic valve calcification. This may indicate the presence of aortic valve stenosis. Consider echocardiography if clinically appropriate.
