Background: Coronary Artery Calcium (CAC) Score indicates atherosclerosis and could be used as a reliable noninvasive assessment of coronary artery disease. The Jakarta Cardiovascular Assessment (JAKVAS) is a modified Framingham risk score based on the Indonesian population targeted for developing countries. Objectives: This study aimed to determine the correlation between Jakarta Cardiovascular Score and Coronary Artery Calcium Score in High-Risk Women. Methods: This study was a retrospective study looking for a correlation between JAKVAS and CAC, with data taken from the medical records of Siloam Hospital Surabaya from 2020-2021. Jakarta Cardiovascular Score for each patient was calculated based on age, sex, history of blood pressure, BMI, smoking history, diabetes mellitus, and physical activity. Results: A total of 56 female participants were included in this study. The JAKVAS Stratification had a significant correlation with age (P <0.001) and calcium stratification score (p <0.001). The association between JAKVAS and CAC, score risk stratification, was significant (P <0.001). The low-risk JAKVAS participants predominate in the no calcification group, according to CAC. The proportion gradually inverts with increased CAC score risk, with moderate and severe CAC categories consisting entirely of high-risk JAKVAS patients. Conclusion: Coronary artery calcification has recently been discovered as a powerful predictor of cardiovascular risk in high-risk women. This can provide predictive data to the JAKVAS. © 2023, Brawijaya University. All rights reserved.
