Introduction:
The abnormal buildup of minerals, such as calcium and phosphate, in blood vessels is called vascular calcification (VC). Calcification of any arterial bed could result in cardiovascular disease (CVD) morbidity and even death; moreover, CT is the standard for assessing VC. VC is a systemic process, and abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) is linked to calcification and subclinical atherosclerosis in other vascular beds. – Dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA), a technique commonly used to assess bone density and…
