Absolute measures of CAC stratified by CVD events.
| All (N=1,330) | No CVD (N=1,257) | CVD (N=73) | p | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| CAC density –HU | 364.0 (230.0–526.0) | 356.0 (226.0–517.3) | 464.0 (352.8–606.0) | <0.001 |
| CAC volume –mm3 | 53.5 (15.6–186.0) | 50.6 (14.6–175.2) | 232.7 (120.7–444.9) | <0.001 |
| Agatston score | 60.2 (10.1–228.5) | 55.8 (9.7–209.0) | 284.3 (137.3–593.2) | <0.001 |
| No. of calcified segments | 3 (1–4) | 3 (1–4) | 4 (3–6) | <0.001 |
Individuals with CVD events had higher median CAC density and a greater amount of CAC (volume, AS and calcified segments). All values are displayed as median (inter-quartile range). P-values are based on Wilcoxon rank-sum or Fisher’s exact tests as appropriate. CAC=coronary artery calcium; HU=Hounsfield Units.
