About

Calcium scoring of the coronary arteries is use as a predictor of coronary stenosis. The aim of this study is to measure the calcium scoring of the abdominal aorta using an helicoidal fast scan and to correlate this measurement with classical cardiovascular risk factors and newer parameters reflecting vascular rigidity, like pulse velocity measurement.
