Abstract
18F-Sodium Fluoride Positron Emission Tomography can identify regions of vascular calcification activity that progress to
macroscopic calcifications years later and image analysis techniques are reproducible. Vitamin K may prevent the development
of new regions of vascular calcification activity detected by 18F-Sodium Fluoride Positron Emission Tomography, though
colchicine has no effect. Dietary vitamin K intake is inversely associated with cardiovascular disease risk.
18F-Sodium Fluoride Positron Emission Tomography may serve as a useful risk stratification tool in cardiovascular disease and
vitamin K may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease by inhibtitng calcification activity within the vasculature.
