      abstract = {Given its central role in low-density lipoprotein (LDL)  metabolism, there is interest in exploring proprotein  convertase subtisilin/kexin type 9 (PCSK9) as a potential  circulating biomarker of atherosclerotic cardiovascular  disease (ASCVD) risk. Computed tomography for coronary  artery calcium (CAC) scoring provides an accurate  assessment of subclinical coronary atherosclerotic plaque  burden and can be used to refine cardiovascular risk  estimates in individuals without symptoms of ASCVD. In this  study, we assessed the correlation of cross-sectional  measurements of plasma PCSK9 concentration and CAC score in  individuals free of clinical ASCVD.},
