What are the risk factors for the incidence and progression of coronary artery calcification in asymptomatic subjects?
Standard coronary risk factors predict the incidence and progression of coronary artery calcification across multiple ethnicities, with Whites showing higher rates of incidence and progression.
This is the first large multiethnic study reporting on the incidence and progression of CAC. Standard coronary risk factors were generally related to both CAC incidence and progression. Whites had more incident CAC and CAC progression than the other 3 racial/ethnic groups. Except for diabetes mellitus, risk factor relationships were similar across racial/ethnic groups.
