摘要: Although the presence of coronary artery calcium (CAC) has been associated with prevalence and incidence heart disease (CHD), it is unclear if this association a threshold or continuous relation. The aim research was to explore relation between CAC, as detected by electron beam tomography (EBT), CHD in cross-sectional study women men who presented single center for elective screening EBT from 1995 1998. Of 17,967 participants, patients had higher CAC levels than those without CHD. Using subjects referent group, odds ratios prevalent increased significantly across increasing quartiles overall population both genders. In subset population, after adjusting risk factors, scores fourth quartile were an ratio 33.8 (p 0, greatest increase occurring >95. These observations support potential sensitive test detection
