Table 3. Correlation between cardiac valvular calcification and coronary artery calcification.

Rho correlation	CAC score	LV systolic velocity	GLS	E:E’
CAC score	–	–0.259a	0.270a	0.286a
Valvular calcification score	0.405b	–0.250a	0.085	0.417b

CAC = coronary artery calcification; LV = left ventricular; GLS = global longitudinal strain; E:E’ = ratio of passive LV filling peak flow velocity to average peak velocity of the septal and lateral mitral annulus by tissue Doppler imaging. ^ap < 0.01 and ^bp < 0.001.
