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.
