BACKGROUND: There is limited evidence of the relationship between aortic and iliac calcification and aortic events (aortic dissection or aneurysm rupture) and major adverse limb events (MALEs; ...

BACKGROUND: Aortic valve calcification increases leaflet stiffness and contributes to the development of calcific aortic valve disease. The molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying calcification ...

New evidence shows regular aspirin use is associated with a lower incidence of aortic valve calcification and aortic stenosis ...

(CHICAGO) –Bone-like cells similar to the cells found in the skeleton calcify in the heart's aortic valve and are responsible for the blockages that lead to the need for open-heart surgery to replace ...

(UPDATED) Lipoprotein(a) is associated with the development of aortic valve calcification (AVC), but the atherogenic lipoprotein does not appear to be linked to the progression of calcification over ...

Lipoprotein(a) is not associated with active calcification of the aortic valve in patients with mild-to-moderate aortic stenosis, according to a study presented this week at the European ...

We determined genomewide associations with the presence of aortic-valve calcification (among 6942 participants) and mitral annular calcification (among 3795 participants), as detected by computed ...
