Figure shows association between CAC and DTM of endothelial function measured in hemodialysis patients and matched non-CKD cohort patients. DTM is lower (worse) within each CAC score category in hemodialysis patients compared to matched non-CKD controls, with lowest being in patients with CAC score >1000 AS.
