- •
We measured ascending and descending thoracic aorta calcium in asymptomatic diabetics.

Both types of aortic calcium are associated with traditional cardiac risk factors.

Similarly, both phenotypes are also associated with coronary artery calcium.
- •
However, only calcium of the descending thoracic aorta is associated with a low ABI.
