To evaluate the independent association between aortic arch calcification and the subsequent risk of coronary heart disease and ischemic stroke.
Conducted a population-based cohort study assessing participants for aortic arch calcification.
Tracked incidence of coronary heart disease in both sexes and ischemic stroke events over follow-up.
Aortic arch calcification was independently associated with an increased risk of coronary heart disease in both men and women.
Aortic arch calcification was independently associated with an elevated risk of ischemic stroke specifically in women.
