Association of Bone Quality and Quantity With Vascular Calcification

Not Applicable

Withdrawn

• Conditions: Vascular Calcification; Atherosclerosis; Bone Density
• Interventions: Procedure: CT of the bones

• Registration Number: NCT00892853
• Lead Sponsor: University of Michigan

Brief Summary

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.
