High relative amount of nodular calcification in femoral plaques is associated with milder lower extremity arterial disease

Table 2 Analysis of covariance of Nodular calcification and Sheet calcification area proportions in association to the vessel diameter

Abbreviations: F F-value of variancem, Nodular calcification Nodular calcification area proportion, Sheet calcification Sheet calcification area proportion
^aadjusted by demographic determinants of vessel diameter: gender, age and BMI
^badjusted by modulants of vascular remodeling: smoking, hypertension, diabetes, renal impairment (GFR), and inflammatory state (hs-CRP), along with the demographic factors, gender, age and BMI
