Dialysis patients show a very high prevalence of cardiovascular complications, affected as they are with abnormal and accelerated vascular calcifications and, eventually, calcium and phosphorous metabolism disorders. Multislice computed tomography (MSCT) provides a reproducible, high-resolution imaging of calcium contained in cardiac arteries, measured by Agatston score. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the influence of high-dose and low-dose calcitriol therapy on the progression of cardiac vascular calcifications in dialyzed patients.
