Association of Bone Quality and Quantity With Vascular Calcification

June 11, 2014 updated by: Yebin Jiang, M.D., University of Michigan

Association of Bone Quality and Quantity With Vascular Calcification.

The purpose of this study is to determine if there is a link between calcium build up in the veins or arteries (including the veins/arteries of the heart) and deterioration of the bone. This will help understand if there is a connection between heart disease and bone disease.
