Does high aortic valve calcium predict all-cause and CVD deaths independently of coronary artery calcification in patients from the CAC Consortium?
Patients from the CAC Consortium
High aortic valve calcium (AVC)
Accounting for coronary artery calcification (CAC)
All-cause and CVD deathshard clinical
High aortic valve calcium independently predicts mortality in patients with low coronary atherosclerosis burden, despite attenuation when accounting for overall CAC.
Although the overall prognostic significance of AVC was attenuated after accounting for CAC, high AVC was independently associated with all-cause and CVD deaths in patients with low coronary atherosclerosis burden.
