Calcific aortic stenosis [PDF]

Nature Reviews Disease Primers, 2016
Calcific aortic stenosis (AS) is the most prevalent heart valve disorder in developed countries. It is characterized by progressive fibro-calcific remodelling and thickening of the aortic valve leaflets that, over years, evolve to cause severe obstruction to cardiac outflow.

Aortic knuckle calcification

Pan African Medical Journal, 2023
Aortic knuckle calcification is a condition where there is deposit of calcium in aortic valve causing reduced blood flow through the same. The condition usually presents in old age as a complication of rheumatic heart disease or Infective Endocarditis. Risk factors include old age, raised blood pressure and coronary heart disease.

Reference distributions of aortic calcification and association with Framingham risk score

Scientific Reports, 2023
Evidence supporting aortic calcification as a leverageable cardiovascular risk factor is rapidly growing. Given aortic calcification’s potential as a clinical correlate, we assessed granular vertebral-indexed calcification measurements of the abdominal ...

Lipoprotein(a) and Subclinical Vascular and Valvular Calcification on Cardiac Computed Tomography: The Atherosclerosis Risk in Communities Study

Journal of the American Heart Association: Cardiovascular and Cerebrovascular Disease, 2022
Background Lipoprotein(a) (Lp(a)) is a potent causal risk factor for cardiovascular events and mortality. However, its relationship with subclinical atherosclerosis, as defined by arterial calcification, remains unclear.

Models and Techniques to Study Aortic Valve Calcification in Vitro, ex Vivo and in Vivo. An Overview

Frontiers in Pharmacology, 2022
Aortic valve stenosis secondary to aortic valve calcification is the most common valve disease in the Western world. Calcification is a result of pathological proliferation and osteogenic differentiation of resident valve interstitial cells.
