Objective The main objective of this study was to investigate the association between two
markers of low-grade inflammation; soluble urokinase plasminogen activator receptor
(suPAR) and high-sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP); and coronary artery calcification
(CAC) score detected by cardiac computed tomography (CT) scan. Design A cross sectional
study of 1126 randomly sampled middle-aged men and women. Methods CAC score was
measured by a non-contrast cardiac CT scan and total 10-year cardiovascular mortality risk …
