2 Figure 1 Potential mechanisms involved in the calcification paradox. Bisphosphonates may reduce vascular calcification indirectly by inhibiting bone resorption or directly by either physicochemical interference with hydroxyapatite crystal formation or biological interaction with vascular smooth muscle cell function in the vessel wall.
