Predicted cardiovascular disease mortality (cardiovascular disease mortality was calculated from a multivariable model that included coronary artery calcium lesion size and the number of lesions.) among women and men based on the number and size of calcified lesions. Among those with ≥5 coronary artery calcium lesions, women with larger coronary artery calcium lesions ≥15 mm3 had 2.2-fold higher cardiovascular disease mortality (P < 0.0001) when compared with men.
