The patient numbers correspond with the patients presented in Table 1.
Severity: whether the calcification is severe +++, moderate ++, mild + or absent -.
CT scoring: absent, mild (one dot), moderate (multiple dots) or severe (confluent) [8].
Histology scoring: absent, mild (less than five vessels affected with calcium), moderate (more than five non-confluent calcified vessels) or severe (more than five confluent calcified vessels that often had large calcium beads).
