Figure 1 The Frequency of Calcified Lesions by Coronary Artery
This figure plots the percent of patients with the total number of calcified lesions for the left anterior descending (LAD), left main (LM), right coronary (RCA), and left circumflex (LCx) coronary arteries. The total number of lesions varies by the epicardial coronary artery but ranges from 1 to 23 lesions. Any lesion was more frequent in the LAD but also common in the RCA and LCx coronary arteries. Only 0.6% of patients had 3 or more lesions in the LM coronary artery.
