  1. TCS - Total calcium score (AU); CV - calcified vessel >1 - more than one calcified major coronary vessel in one of the 4 regions: main left artery, LAD, LCX and RCA including their branches; No CV – mean number of calcified major coronary vessels.
  2. For TCS >0 and CV > 1 data are number (%) of patients.
