Association of thoracic aortic calcium with incident cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality across the spectrum of coronary artery calcium burden

Association of thoracic aortic calcium with incident cardiovascular disease and all-cause mortality across the spectrum of coronary artery calcium burden

Background: Calcification of the ascending and/or descending thoracic aorta is easily measured via non-contrast cardiac computed tomography (CT), commonly performed for quantification of coronary artery calcium (CAC). We assessed whether thoracic aortic calcium (TAC) further improves long-term cardi...
