Multiple Cox regression models of abdominal aortic calcification for mortality and cardiovascular events.

	HR	95% CI	P
High-ACI group (vs. Low-ACI group)	5.25*	1.77 - 15.58	0.003
E/E'	1.16*	1.03 - 1.31	0.013

^*Adjusted for age, diabetes, previous cardiovascular disease, levels of hemoglobin, albumin, and C-reactive protein, left atrial diameter, and ejection fraction. ACI: aortic calcification index; E/E' ratio: a ratio of peak early transmitral flow velocity (E) to peak early diastolic mitral annular velocity (E').
