Association Between AI-derived Thoracic Calcium Volume and Aortic Valve Calcification Quantified by Agatston Scoring
AI-derived thoracic aortic calcium volume did not correlate with aortic valve calcification. Valvular calcification appears to progress independently of thoracic aortic wall calcification. Automated aortic calcium measurements cannot substitute for direct quantification of aortic valve calcification in preprocedural assessment.
