Guan XQ, et al. - In this cross-sectional study, researchers characterized the association between bone mineral density (BMD) and angiographically determined coronary atherosclerotic burden. For this investigation, 459 consecutive patients with stable chest pain suspected of coronary artery disease (CAD) had both dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry scan and selective coronary angiography. This investigation illustrated an inverse relationship between hip BMD and the modified Gensini score. In patients hospitalized for stable chest pain, low hip BMD values (T-scores) were significantly and independently related to increased risk of multivessel coronary disease.
