Figure 1 Relationship Between Baseline CAC Severity and CAC Progression

(A) Progression of coronary calcium according to baseline coronary artery calcification (CAC) severity. The number of patients with CAC progression is shown in parentheses. (B) Median change in volumetric CAC score (mm3) according to baseline CAC severity. The error bars represent interquartile ranges (IQRs). FU = follow-up.

Figure 2 Absolute Changes in CAC Scores Between the Baseline and Follow-Up Evaluation

Absolute changes in coronary artery calcification (CAC) scores between the baseline and follow-up evaluation in 241 patients. The remaining 157 patients did not have calcification at the baseline and follow-up evaluation.

Figure 3 Multivariate Predictors of Coronary Calcium Progression

Multivariate predictors of coronary calcium progression. Black squares denote odds ratios, and the horizontal lines represent 95% confidence intervals. CAC = coronary artery calcification; HbA1c = glycated hemoglobin.
