| Location | 0.513 | |||
| Left anterior descending | 35 (50) | 22 (63) | 13 (37) | |
| Left circumflex | 20 (29) | 10 (50) | 10 (50) | |
| Right coronary | 15 (21) | 7 (47) | 8 (53) | |
| *Average calcification number | – | |||
| Left anterior descending | 1.8 | 1.2 | 0.7 | |
| Left circumflex | 1.5 | 0.8 | 0.8 | |
| Right coronary | 1.3 | 0.6 | 0.7 | |
| Volume (mm3) | 0.79 (0.38–1.8) | 1.2 (0.47–1.9) | 0.65 (0.26–1.3) | 0.153 |

Values are number (%) or median (range).
*Forty–four vessels were analyzed (left anterior descending, n = 19; left circumflex, n = 13; right coronary, n = 12).
