Fig 1 Vascular bed median calcium scores are shown by quartile of the aortic diameter (A) just inferior to the superior mesenteric artery (SMA), at (B) at the midpoint (MID) between the SMA and the aortic bifurcation, and (C) just superior to the aortic bifurcation (BIF) Journal of Vascular Surgery , DOI: ( /j.jvs ) Copyright © 2008 The Society for Vascular Surgery Terms and Conditions

Fig 2 Linear regression analyses shows the differences in aortic diameter at the superior mesenteric artery (SMA), midpoint (MID), and aortic bifurcation (BIF) locations per 1-unit increases in calcium scores in various vascular beds, which were adjusted for age, sex, body mass index, smoking, hypertension, diabetes, and dyslipidemia.
