Relationship between overall aortic calcification and prior cardiovascular events: (A) myocardial infarction (p = 0.0312) and (B) ischemic heart disease (p < 0.0001). Almost a quarter of patients (24.44%) without myocardial infarction history, but no patients with myocardial infarction history, had an overall aortic calcification score of 0. Patients with histories of ischemic heart disease had significantly more severe aortic calcification than those without.
