Inflammatory markers and calcification of coronary arteries, aorta and cardiac valves: Findings from the atherosclerosis risk in communities study

Background: Inflammation plays an important role in the pathophysiology of atherosclerosis. However, inflammatory biomarkers have only been weakly associated with coronary artery calcium (CAC), a representative measure of subclinical atherosclerosis. Moreover, few studies explored extra-coronary cal...
