Greater Volume But Not Higher Density of Abdominal Aortic Calcium Is Associated With Increased Cardiovascular Disease Risk: The Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA)

BACKGROUND: Abdominal aortic calcium (AAC) and coronary artery calcium (CAC) independently and similarly predict cardiovascular disease (CVD) events. The standard AAC and CAC score, the Agatston method, up-weights for greater calcium density, thus models higher calcium density as a CVD hazard. METHO...
