Serum Uric Acid as a Marker of Coronary Calcification in Patients with Asymptomatic Coronary Artery Disease with Preserved Left Ventricular Pump Function

Table 2

Tests of generalized regression model for six parameters (type two diabetes mellitus, total cholesterol, osteopontin, osteoprotegerin, high-sensitive C-reactive protein, and serum uric acid) that potentially contributed to calcification of coronary arteries.
