Linear regression analyses for the association of aortic valve calcification to the extent of coronary plaque burden (number of segments) based on plaque composition in unadjusted and adjusted models.

	Calcified plaque		Mixed plaque		Non-calcified plaque
	β estimate (95% CI)	p-value	β estimate (95% CI)	p-value	β estimate (95% CI)	p-value
Unadjusted	2.74 (2.01−3.47)	<0.001	1.82 (1.24−2.40)	<0.001	0.03 (−0.23−0.30)	NS
MV adjusted	1.55 (0.84−2.26)	<0.001	1.00 (0.41−1.59)	0.001	−0.08 (−0.38−0.26)	NS

CI: confidence interval; NS: nonsignificant.

MV: multivariable model adjusted for age, gender, and traditional risk factors, including BMI, hypertension, hyperlipidemia, diabetes, smoking, family history of coronary artery disease, and history of coronary artery disease.
