Abstract

CAC is common and more severe in patients with chronic kidney disease. Although in chronic kidney disease patients CAC can occur in the absence of occlusive coronary atherosclerosis, our data suggest that, as in the general population, CAC in chronic kidney disease patients is associated with obstructive atherosclerosis and may therefore be associated with a worse outcome.
