Abstract
Calcium deposits in the coronary and extracoronary arterial beds may indicate the extent of atherosclerotic lesions,1-4 and may be a marker of subclinical cardiovascular disease. Although several studies have shown that coronary5,6 and extracoronary calcification7-10 are associated with increased risk of cardiovascular events, the incremental predictive value of vascular calcification, beyond traditional coronary risk factors, is unclear.11Keywords
