Coronary calcium volume

1. Exaggerated blood pressure response during exercise was not clearly linked with coronary calcium volume in humans (Patients with versus without exaggerated blood pressure response) (291 ± 549 vs 254 ± 547 mm3).

   “nor were there significant differences in mean calcium volume (291 ± 549 vs 254 ± 547, p = 0.668)”

1. Epicardial adipose tissue thickness is associated with coronary calcium volume in humans (Stable coronary artery disease; never taken statins) (r=0.62, p=0.001).

   “in Group 2, EATT showed a positive correlation with CC volume (r= 0.62, p= 0.001)”

1. Coronary calcium volume is linked with a higher risk of major adverse cardiovascular events in humans (asymptomatic individuals with prevalent CAC, compared to low density/low volume) (HR 2.05 (95% CI: 1.52-2.77)).
