Impact of serum calcium and phosphate on coronary atherosclerosis detected by cardiac computed tomography

Abstract: Elevated serum levels of Ca, P, and CPP are significantly associated with the presence of calcified coronary atherosclerotic plaque. It is unclear if there is a causal relationship. This relationship is thought to contribute to vascular calcification, but is less closely associated with NCP.

“…Much work on the association between phosphate and CVD has focused on the link between phosphate and vascular calcification. [5][6][7][8] Our finding that serum phosphate relates to CVD death of non-CHD causes is consistent with the recent finding that phosphate is more related to calcified plaques, 31 which have been shown to be only weakly associated with the presence of coronary artery disease and less strongly associated with ischemic symptoms than noncalcified plaque. 32 Thus, the association between phosphate and calcified rather than noncalcified plaques may explain the weak association with CHD outcome (nonfatal MI and CHD death), which involves rupture of atherosclerotic plaque.…”

“…In addition to the most commonly used imaging techniques at present, laboratory indexes, including lipoprotein(a), endothelin 1 and bone morphogenetic protein 2 levels, are also associated with calcification and may be utilized to assess the degree of CAC (19)(20)(21). To date, the association between serum calcium, phosphorus, CPP and CAC has been most widely discussed in previous studies (22,23); however, the conclusions are not consistent. The presence of cardiovascular risk factors may affect the results of these studies.…”

“…These studies demonstrate that even a serum phosphate value within the reference range (0.8-1.4mmol/l) is associated with CV calcification, as well as increased CV risk [66]. Studies of older adults and CKD patients also found a significant association between higher serum phosphate and presence and extent of calcification 18,21,22,26,28,29 , with each 0.0323mmol/l rise in serum phosphorus being associated with 6.1% higher odds of having CAC 21 . Wang et al found a gender difference; in postmenopausal women, serum phosphate was significantly higher (1.15 vs 1.17 mmol/l) in subjects with AAC, while in older men there was no association 19 .…”

“…Many studies of serum calcium show no association with calcification [21][22][23][24][25] , although some show a positive correlation with presence, extent and progression of AAC in older adults 19,[26][27] , with mixed results for presence of CAC, although there may be an association with extent or progression [18][19][28][29] . Serum calcium was an independent predictor of calcified and mixed plaque but not non-calcified plaque 29 and higher concentrations were associated with lower in-hospital mortality among MI patients 30 . Nevertheless, serum calcium levels often bear little relationship to intake, as is evidenced by the study by Wang et al, where higher serum calcium was associated with increased AAC but a higher calcium intake was found in those with no AAC 19 .…”
