| Abstract: | Coronary artery calcification is frequently seen in cardiovascular disease in diabetic patients, and usually indicates the severity of coronary stenosis. They occur in the intima of the lipid-rich atherosclerotic coronary lesions. The mechanism of the coronary calcification is still not known, though several proteins such as AGE are thought to induce the calcium accumulation in the atheroma. |
