Diabetic macrovascular complications are the main cause of death and disability in diabetes patients, of which vascular calcification is one of the key pathological mechanisms. Calcification in ...

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; ...

The arterial vasculature is the second most frequently calcified structure in the human body after the skeleton. Calcification of the aorta and aortic valves occurs in most individuals in westernized ...

Researchers from Tokyo Medical and Dental University (TMDU) have uncovered a link between cardiovascular disease and chronic kidney disease, revealing novel disease biomarkers and therapeutic targets ...

Appropriate imaging can help identify patients who need intensive medical treatment. Calcification in the cardiac valves and aorta portends worse survival and progresses faster in patients with ...

The coronary artery supplies blood to the heart. If calcium builds up in the coronary artery, it can lead to coronary artery disease and increase a person’s risk of a heart attack. Calcium is the most ...

This new article publication from Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B, discusses how Chinese medicine and intermittent fasting integration therapy attenuate diabetic vascular calcification via ...

Potent, selective ABCC6-targeting positive functional modulator (PFM) improved multiple markers of renal function in animal models of chronic kidney disease (CKD) PFM improved inorganic pyrophosphate ...

In the hemodialysis population, cardiovascular calcifications result from excess phosphate and calcium, as well as reduced activity of inhibitors of calcification, such as matrix Gla protein. Vitamin ...
