Lower-extremity arterial calcification as a correlate of coronary artery calcification [PDF]
Metabolism, 2006 Coronary artery calcification (CAC) has been used as a testing modality for coronary atherosclerosis burden. In diabetes, arterial calcification in the tunica media is common and predicts renal and cardiovascular mortality. It is unknown whether the 2 calcification processes are related.
