In 380 patients, coronary calcifications were quantified by electron beam tomography and compared with the predicted 10-year cardiovascular event risk determined by the Framingham equation, Adult Treatment Panel III tables, and the PROCAM algorithm. The correlation between the amount of calcium and the predicted cardiac event risk was low (correlation coefficient range 0.19 to 0.28). The assessment of coronary calcium may thus potentially yield information that is additive to the analysis of traditional risk factors.
在380名患者中，通过电子束断层扫描对冠状动脉钙化进行定量，并与根据弗雷明汉方程、成人治疗小组III表格和PROCAM算法确定的预测10年心血管事件风险进行比较。钙含量与预测的心脏事件风险之间的相关性较低（相关系数范围为0.19至0.28）。因此，冠状动脉钙化评估可能会产生有助于分析传统危险因素的额外信息。
