Note:

*

Visit 2, 3, 4 and 5 include subjects who had detectable CAC on a follow up scan at mean 1.7 ± 0.3, 3.2 ± 0.4, 4.9 ± 0.5 and 9.7 ± 0.6 years respectively following baseline scan.

Abbreviations: N= number of subjects, LAD= Left anterior descending artery, RCA= Right coronary artery, LCX= Left circumflex artery, LM= left main artery, CAC= coronary artery calcium.
