Determine the prevalence and risk factor (RF) correlates of aortic plaque (AP) detected by cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR), which mainly shows noncalcified plaques, and by noncontrast computed tomography (CT), which best depicts calcified plaques, in community-dwelling adults. 1016 Framingham Offspring cohort members (64±9y, 474 men) underwent CMR and CT of the aorta. Potential RFs for AP (age; sex; BMI; blood pressure; LDL and HDL cholesterol; fasting glucose; C-reactive protein; prevalent hypertension, diabetes, smoking; use of antihypertensive, diabetes or lipid-lowering drugs) were compared between participants with zero versus nonzero AP by CMR and by CT. Candidate RFs attaining p<0.05 for difference with either imaging modality were entered into multivariable logistic regression models adjusting for age, sex and other RFs. Odds ratios were calculated for modality-specific prevalence of AP. Associations between RFs and continuous measures of AP were assessed using Tobit regression. Prevalences of CMR and CT AP were 49% and 82% respectively. AP burdens by CMR and CT were correlated, r=0.28, p<0.0001. Increasing age and smoking were associated with prevalent AP by both CMR and CT. Additionally, prevalent AP by CMR was associated with female sex and fasting glucose, prevalent AP by CT with hypertension treatment and with adverse lipid profile. AP by CMR and CT are both associated with smoking and increasing age, but other risk factors differ between calcified and noncalcified AP. The relative predictive value of AP detected by CMR versus by CT for incident cardiovascular events remains to be determined.
