| Abnormal myocardial scan | 13.0 (2.8–60.1) | 0.001 |
| Ten-year Framingham risk score† at time of myocardial scan | 1.8 (1.1, 2.9) | 0.01 |
↵† Calculated using patient’s age, systolic blood pressure, smoking status, and total and high density cholesterol level22–24. For definitions of hypertension, hypercholesterolemia, reduced HDL-C, and elevated LDL-C refer to the legend for Table 2. NS: nonsignificant, p > 0.05.
