Letters to the Editor 391 RE: ‘‘ALCOHOL CONSUMPTION, BINGE DRINKING, AND EARLY CORONARY CALCIFICATION: FINDINGS FROM THE CORONARY ARTERY RISK DEVELOPMENT IN YOUNG ADULTS (CARDIA) STUDY’’ The question of coronary calcification and its role in the the understanding of the role of coronary calcium may be process of atherogenesis, plaque stability, and occurrence of obtained by subsequent long-term follow-up of the middle- acute coronary events is a not completely resolved matter. aged population of the present study. Nevertheless, coronary Mark J. Pletcher et al. (1) recently reported that, among calcium may have different consequences or may reflect different proccesses at a younger or older age. 3,037 participants aged 33–45 years, those who on average Pletcher et al. concluded that the association between consumed more alcohol were more likely to have coronary usual alcohol consumption and coronary calcium is stron- calcification. It has previously been proposed that calcium is gest among Black men. However, they failed to comment on a feature of stable coronary lesions (2, 3). At present, we an apparently even more impressive and also statistically know that coronary calcium correlates with the prognosis of significant association between the highest level of alcohol coronary heart disease and predicts
