FIGURE 1. CHD and MI Risk by Number of Arteries With CAC

Coronary heart disease (CHD) and myocardial infarction (MI) risk are increased with 3- to 4-artery involvement compared with 1-artery involvement. Model 1: adjusted for Pooled Cohort Equations. Model 2: Model 1 + ln(CAC volume + 1) + coronary artery calcium (CAC) density.
