The build-up of calcium in a major artery outside of the heart could predict future heart attack or stroke, a new Edith Cowan University led study has demonstrated.
Published today in the
Journal of the American Heart Association, the research could help doctors identify people at risk of cardiovascular disease years before symptoms arise.
Analysing 52 previous studies, the international team of researchers found that people who have abdominal aortic calcification (AAC) have a two to four times higher risk of a future cardiovascular event.
The study also found the more extensive the calcium in the blood vessel wall, the greater the risk of future cardiovascular events and people with AAC and chronic kidney disease were at even greater risk than those from the general population with AAC.

Dr. Andrew Newberg may be a pioneer in his field, but he also understands that, when it comes to spirituality and the brain, it’s OK to say, “I don’t know.”
As a child, Dr. Andrew Newberg peppered his father with some serious questions about the concept of reality. “But he was very good at throwing it back at me,” Newberg recalls.
So he would have to find the answers on his own. In the months between his graduation from Haverford College and heading to medical school at the University of Pennsylvania, Newberg often meditated as he walked. Then he’d simply sit and think. Some of what he experienced he can’t explain to this day. It led directly to his studies on the impact of religious and spiritual experiences on the brain. This unconventional field is known as neurotheology, and Newberg is one of its pioneers.
