Introduction: Coronary calcification (quantified as Agatston’s calcium score (CS) and measured with a CT-based method) has been shown to predict coronary atherosclerotic burden and mortality in type 2 diabetics (T2D). Compared to a single measurement, the progression of CS in time better reflects the effects of cardiovascular risk factors that have not yet been fully elucidated.Methods: We measured calcium score (CS) (Agatston’s method, 64-slic...
